Flower mead fermentation temp
« on: August 16, 2016, 04:58:06 pm »
I was wondering if my stand up fridge that only hits about 52° is too cold to use as fermentation box? Or should I use my crawl space, closer to 60ish?

I would say 60ish. What yeast strain are you using? I use Lalvin 71-B and low to mid 60's seems just right.

Thanks I actually figured out my fridge. It's old with a dail that doesn't work well. The yeast is wlp720
