Matty A Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I would be still trying to brew an Ale. So anything other then the European Lagar and the Pilsner Kit and just wrap a blanket or something around the fermenter. When it gets to around 10C then you can use the lager yeast kits.

weggl Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Allan, Build yourself a heater box with a temp controller (try Jaycars $30) a 60w incandesant lamp will supply enough heat to keep it warm as long as your box is insulated well enough.

PB2 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 I have fond memories of crisp Winter mornings in Hobart, walking back from the gymnasium at Anglesea Barracks, not a cloud in the sky, the sun lighting up Mount Wellington, throwing pink hues and capped off with stark white snow. [love] Memories of Canberra in Winter - freezing my arse off - the temporary accommodation at the SGTs' Mess was inadequate.[pouty] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty A Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 [rightful] Winter hasn't started yet Matty [rightful] ...[tongue] I know, I am not looking forward to it. Although the brewery is holding a nice 10C when I get up in the morning. Good lagering weather that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
