Hello all...
I’m a few extract/steeping brews in but about to start all grain. In anticipation of this I have knocked up a fermentation chamber (fridge, Inkbird etc). Problem is I have no idea how to use it (in terms of temperature, I know how it technically works). I have just fermented at room temp in a dark corner so far.
So is there an online guide or link? Reason I ask is because when I read threads people talk of different styles/yeasts at different temps and raising or lowering the temp after a certain period.
Is there a general rule of thumb? Something like pitch mid of the temp range on the yeast packet, then ferment at the lower end and raise for the last few days (as a random example). Keep hearing diacetyl rest as well..
Basically as I’ve constructed it I might as well use it correctly to improve results....
Help...
Thanks in advance boozers...
