Beer82 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Beer Temp is falling tonight currently on 21 on its fourth day was on 22 earlier tonight I think it will drop more overnight maybe another 1 or 2 degrees is it worth me turning on my heat belt for a few hours until morning? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fermentation might be slowing down where is it being stored inside outside and your climate conditions I ferment mine at at 19 with temp control then move it up to 22 when it is finishing off. i assume ale yeast Edited June 4, 2019 by BHB19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beer82 Posted June 4, 2019 Author Share Posted June 4, 2019 Yes Ale yeast being stored inside the house in the garage on a bench ambient temp has been around 21 inside today outside has been 17 degress it's now 11 degress outside and will fall to 5 degrees as the sun comes up. The garage is currently 18 -19 degrees ambient temp and I reckon will fall maybe another few degrees ambient in garage tonight before warming up in morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDT2 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 If it looks like fermentation is slowing down/nearly finished I would try and keep it at 22 for the yeast to clean up otherwise I would be happy with it at 19 if fermentation is still cranking just keep an eye on it.

Beer82 Posted June 4, 2019 Author Share Posted June 4, 2019 ok cool thanks, yeah it looks like its starting to get clearer so I would say that fermentation is coming to an end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDT2 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Me personally I would try and keep it at 22 then and check the final gravity in a few days and again a couple days later and if the same it’s ready to go. Have a read through this forum plenty of info/recipes of varying expertise it’s a good friendly forum compared to some others and hope you enjoy your home brewed beer .

BlackSands Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 It would help a great deal if you can insulate your fermenter. I used to wrap mine in a sleeping bag in the Winter. Makes a HUGE difference to the stability of the fermentation temperature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
