Yesterday I brewed up a Mr. Beer Recipe called Octoberfest Cream Ale. It is supposed to be a tasty ale version of a classic lager recipe. Im trying my new cooler with frozen water bottles inside to keep the temp down. I added 8 water bottles and the temp is at a steady 64 degrees.
I did pitch the yeast warm at about 85 degrees but I think it will be ok. Im going to let this ferment for about 2-3 weeks and then let it condition for 4-6 weeks.
