Re: How to ferment BD Vienna Lager

Welcome to the forum. Everything good has been said. One thing you want to try and avoid is temperature swings. Try to keep the temps even as possible. Is there a point when temp swings should worry me? As in 5 degree fluctuations are OK but 10 degree are bad? Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

Re: How to ferment BD Vienna Lager

Hello and welcome to the site. I use a fermenter cooler from Cool Brewing along with frozen water bottles, it keeps the temp down to mid 60's or even lower. I'm currently fermenting a 5G cream ale recipe from Midwest Supplies split into 2 of the BrewDemon LBCs. That's an awesome product. That's som...

Re: How to ferment BD Vienna Lager

82 seems really high. Are you sure that's the upper limit? I try to stay close to the lower end of the range even if that's not a mistake. I checked again to make sure and that's what it says. Maybe moving my fermenter to a closet would help keep things cooler. I'm in Tennessee so my room temp stay...

Re: How to ferment BD Vienna Lager

If I recall, the kits often use a very wide temperature range for fermenting. The mid to upper 60's is probably best. Welcome aboard Steel! Please keep us up on your brewing adventures. I think you're right. The kits seem to allow for a lot more variability than what I see others say is good. Sent ...

Re: How to ferment BD Vienna Lager

The BrewDemon Vienna lager isn't actually a true lager. It uses an ale yeast instead of a lager yeast so you will want to use the BrewDemon instructions and ferment it just as you did the pale ale.

How to ferment BD Vienna Lager

Hi! I just purchased and brewed my first kit. I did the Pale Ale that comes with the Brewdemon LBC. When I bottle that batch I'm going to start the Vienna Lager recipe. In the instructions it says to ferment at 64-82. From what I see on the net most ferment at a colder temp and then condition at aro...
