I am in the habit of always starting my fermentation at the lower end of the recommended range, I leave it as is for 4 days and then ramp up 1C every 24 hours to the top of the range where I leave it until a total time in fermenter of 14 days.
I have no idea if this actually gives a better beer but do it now out of habit and have faith that it does.
The problem is when I want to brew more than one brew, so when the second brew is due to go in the chamber, the first brew is at its max which could be as high as 22C. The second brew should start around 18C so therein lies the problem.
I have wondered if leaving the first brew at the low end and waiting until brew 2 is ready to ramp and doing them together would make any difference or whether it is too late for brew 1 for a diacetyl rest?
I realise I am probably over thinking things, but how do you / would you do it?
