I wanted to make an AG Kolsch but I was not able to get to the fermentation temp of 56–64°F. I bought a nice 15 CF chest freezer and put a temp controller on it. Here is my dilemma. I have ordered three kits to lager.
KÖLSCH(NB): Optimum temperature: 56–64°F
CZECH PILSNER(NB): Optimum temperature: 48–58°F
PRE-PROHIBITION LAGER(NB): Optimum temperature: 48–56°F
I know I can do the CP and the PPL on the same day since they have the same ranges. I want to wedge the Kolsch in there too but the range is too high to sit with the others.Is it possible to ferment all 3 at 56°F without sacrificing quality? I want these beers to be done right. My house is @ 70°F so that won't work. If anyone can figure this out, I would love to hear it. Any and all ideas are very much welcome.
