Quick one.
Stuck on a Cooper's Sparkling Ale yesterday (with cooper's recommended ingredients). Pitched the yeast as 21oC and stuck it in the fridge.
As per the "Cooper's Kit Yeast" thread I have the FV bang on 17oC.
Been on 24 hours now and nothing happening, no bubbles, no krausen.
Am I correct in saying that the lag would be longer as lower temperatures.
Was going to leave another 24 hours and if nothing is happening maybe up the temp by a degree or so.
Am I right?
I'd probably put it up to 20 for a while, just until you see signs of fermentation and you should be good to reduce it again then.
18°C seems to be a happy place for Coopers yeast to ferment out nice and clean.
Thanks a million.
Have it set to 20oC now, probably take a couple of hours for the wort to adjust and we'll see how we get on
