So yeah, it didn't get going for quite some time. The S-23 that I brewed at the same time is pretty much finished, while the W34/70 is pretty much peaking about now (day six).

Thanks rwh,

I'll stop panicking now, relax and have a homebrew (although a pretty ordinary one from my first batch!!)....

Cheers,

Thanks everyone (again...!!),

I don't want to check it too often as the temp will keep changing in the fridge - somebody needs to invent a video beer monitor - similar to a baby monitor but one that will work inside a fridge! (Perhaps a wireless, condensation-proof web-cam would do the trick... or perhaps I'm getting a bit carried away!).

Or a Glass Door Fridge (The Ultimate)

Putting a starter from CPA in tonight for my CSA Recipe. Apparently CPA yeast is the same.

Question: Has anyone tried Lower than 16-18 degrees for this yeast?

Cheers

Have you tried this temp?

The starter is "hopefully" brewing as I type at work.

Are you referring to Wyeast 2206 Bavarian Lager Yeast or an ale yeast that shares the same number???

I thought Boonie was asking if anyone had cool fermented CPA yeast. I haven't but I have brewed US-56 / 05 under 16C with good effect.

Cheers,

Yep TL I was after a correct temp for a Coopers Bottle Yeast.

I also posted in the Coopers Yeast common questions after I realised I should have posted there in the first place.

The replies I have had agree with you that 16-18 would be the go.

Cheers
