Hey guys I just brewed my first Schwarzbier. My first lager really...
I DO NOT have any temperature control other that opening and closing a floor vent, and a towels I cover my carboys with.
The guy at my LHBS (NU HOMEBREW / GENUS Brewing, Check em out on youtube)
hooked me up with some 1968 London ESB Wyeast Smack pack yeast.
They were not too concerned about me fermenting at my normal temp (66-72)
Do any of you have some advice for fermenting this bad girl without cold crashing or lagering. I am sure the lowest i can get my carboy is 60 degrees without wet T-shirts.
