Thanks, I have put some ice on the top and on the sides. The temperature is a bit high (18 celcius) but stable. On another note, would you suggest when the temperature falls to a more normal level within a week or so (when the fermentation starts to end), should I allow that or heat it back to...
Hi all,
I will soon brew a modern lager, somewhat more hoppy than my usual lagers. I will brew it a bit warmer (have limited cooling in my garage), between 15-20 degree celcius. Unceratin about best yeast string, to avoid side effects.
Any suggestions?

Yes, this was a few left over bottles, just don't know what happened besides the temperature going up (and yes they had peaked a few monthes earlier). The storing prior to this had been between 6-10 degrees. I heard that storing ales and lagers could/should be done in different temperatures...
I have another perculiar observation. My last Neipa looked fine for six months! in the garage, but changed over two weeks when the temperature rose from 10 to 18 degrees celcius (along with the spring/summer). It all turned more brown. Was surprised by this effect after six months.
I have done some 30 brews, and three Neipas. It seems by far the most technically challenging and sensitive brew.. I am going for minimizing all unnecessary mistakes, while using quite basic technique. I will probably need to skip the bottling though (and use a keg).
