I've been wanting to brew a Schwarzbier recipe that I formulated for about 6 months now. I had originally planned to reuse some WLP830 from this years O'fest that I brewed in early May. Due to the lack of lagering space I have, I haven't got around to it and dont think I'm going to use it now. I'm thinking of just pitching some US-05? Yeah, I know it will not be even close to the beer it could've been but I need to use these Ingredients. We have a lil' girl coming in OCT and I have a feeling there won't be much brewing after that for a little while. Anyway, I've used US-05 down to 58F with great results. Has anyone gone lower than that? I was thinking 55F then ramping up at the end of fermentation? Thoughts?
