So I've bitten the bullet and set up a brewfridge with an STC1000, and am seven days into my first brew of St Peters Ruby Red Ale.
No problems as far as I can tell, I've had it running at 18DegC after pitching at 24DegC. OG was 1040 and is currently at 1018. I'm now planning to reduce the temp down to 15DegC for the next seven days to allow the brew to clear before bottling. I'd expect it to drop to around 1012 as an FG, will it still drop at the reduced temp or do I need to keep it around 18DegC? I took a sample yesterday which looked/ tasted great, but was very cloudy and quite yeasty....
Opinions please!
