just wondering what the consequences are for brewing t-58 yeast at 16-17 instead of 18-20, do you not get the full effect and taste of the yeast??
cheers guys
consequences of temp too cold
Re: consequences of temp too cold
it'll be more mild in terms of the fancy flavours the yeast throws - spiciness etc.

And you may get a much slower (if not stuck) fermentation.

Re: consequences of temp too cold
its actually been fermenting at 18 for the last 5 days and just dropped back to 16, so hopefully the first 5 days have got the most out of it.
cheers for the in put, appreciate it

Re: consequences of temp too cold
she'll be right 
i fermented a T-58 brew at around 25c.. the yeast characteristics are quite apparent, but not unpleasantly so.

The best way to tell is to take a hydro reading. If in the 1010 region (or lower) it is a great time to drop the temp anyway.

Re: consequences of temp too cold
i was wondering the same thing
Re: consequences of temp too cold
Yes, it does help to drop extraneous yeast and solids out of suspension, and you should have clearer beer when you bottle / keg.spatch wrote:Newbie Q - Why drop the temp? Does it help the sediment drop or something?
