Bottling question.

[Batman1]

Hi, I'm brewing a Coopers European lager, it has been in the garage for the past two weeks, at a constant 13/14'c. Starting at a og of 1038 and slowly coming down, 1018 so far so good. Going to leave for another week or two.

When I prime and bottle this brew, would I be right in moving it to a warmer place to aid secondary, let's say for a week, before returning to the garage and or fridge for 12 weeks or more.

Thanks in advance for any replies offered.

Dave.

hi , Dave yes you got it , 2 weeks after bottled and primed with sugar in warmth then somewhere cooler to condition , try 1 after around 4 weeks then try and leave em longer and try 1 again at arounf 6 weeks etc , most likely best around 10 weeks :thumb:

Thanks for the reply, Pittsy.

Should they be moved to a temp between 18-24'c (conservatory) or higher, say 27'c. I have a small bedroom with a CCTV dvr and a home server running, this room is usually around 27'c all year round.

18 / 20 c is ideal , too high ain't good like 27c :thumb:
