Yeast Temp

[rackemup]

G'day All,
Does anybody know what the lowest temperature recult'd Coopers yeast can handle before it falls asleep?
Any info much appreciated, Cheers!

One particular brewer on the using coopers yeast wiki post suggests 14deg C and his fermentation would still be going along nicely. I'm definitely looking at lower temps for less 'banana' next time..

I have no idea
But id have it a guess it would be between 12-14deg
As thats what most seem to be able to handle.. not forgetting that it will significantly slow fermentation down and Maybe attenuation if you dont raise the temp

If i could be arse with the yeast(personally dont like it too much) i would start at 10deg and after 36 hours test SG if nothing raise it 2deg and wait 36 hours and test and so on till you start seeing krausen and/or gravity drop

Thanks,
the last time i used this yeast the temps got a bit out of control (26c)..and there was the banana aroma coming through
The one i have now is sitting at about 16c and smells alot cleaner.
