The traditional bock I got wrangled into brewing yesterday (thanks LN!) is currently sitting in the shower of our main bathroom fermenting away. Not only do I have a carboy full of beer in the shower, but I've got the entire fermentation chiller in there as well. Garage temps have recently been too far below the 50 degree fermentation temperature I'm shooting for and the upcoming weather appears to be cooling off. Thus, into the shower (the only place on the ground floor with space and "hidden") it goes!
Now, the big money question. If I want the beer to be at 50 degrees during the height of fermentation activity, do I need to get the ambient temperature down to say 47 degrees? Cooler? Warmer? It's probably one of those things that "it depends" and I'll just have to wing it a couple of times before I figure it out...
