To Fridge Or Not To Fridge Cooper's Draught?

[Greg2013]

Below you will see two demijohns of Coopers Draught that i pitched Saflager w34/70 into Saturday night last. Now they are bubbling away nicely. However being that it is a Draught and i did use lager yeast should i now put them in the fridge at around 10c?

It is a bit of an experiment, this was the past date tin i was given recently and i decided to short brew it with a tin of lyles golden syrup into a 2 gallon(pre boil batch). I also hopped the bejaysus out of it with Cascade and Herkules 50gr each total

You have two containers, put one in the fridge and leave the other one out. It's too late at this stage if you put them in on Saturday, the lagering will have minimal effect when you're already almost finished primary.

TBh it was an afterthought, i thought i would have to let them get a good start first in a warm room?

Na, no need, preferably get to pitching temps and then into a 12c fridge.

Next time you change out the kit yeast for one you've not used before, google the new yeast to find it's spec sheet, or just ask beforehand.
If you look at that spec sheet for w34/70 it says to pitch above 20C+, ferment 9C-15C, ideally 12C.
At this stage, whatever damage is done so don't worry about it and do whatever.
But hopefully you'll get lucky and still have a drinkable beer

Never said it won't be drinkable, but expect some weizen bier type phenols and spices.

That's fair enough, i was aware of the temp range and i did pitch it at 25c, i was just atking a chance on fermenting as normal, it was an afterthought should i fridge it. Fair point though Lord Eoin. Weisen spicy is fine by me Eoin.
