How to control the wort cooling temperature?
Generally speaking, the wort cooling temperature should be relatively fixed in a batch of brewing. But considering of the influence of the wort consistence, the yeast performance, the fermentation method, the brewing season etc, the wort cooling temperature should be adjusted accordingly. The lower wort temperature generally corresponding with the low inspiring speed, the longer fermentation time, the docile fermentation process and the good yeast sediment, which would help to brew a beer with better mouthfeel and foam.
Here we have several tips about how to control the cooling temperature as below:
1.If your brewing technique need much longer fermentation time and maturation time, the wort temperature available to be cooler, say 6.5-8℃;Or the temperature could be a little higher at 8-9.5℃.
2.During the busy season of brewing, the wort temperature could be a little higher to faster the beer production, say about 9-10℃ or even higher.
3.The traditional brewing technique generally need a lower temperature that corresponding with a slower fermentation speed; or with less yeast with a weak fermentation, the wort temperature could be a little higher.
4.If there is less content of α-amino nitrogen in wort, or less fermentable sugar, the cooling temperature could be lower to get a stable fermentation process, which could help to reduce the formation of bad flavour.
5.If the OG is much higher (14-16 plato), the temperature could be lower to avoid a longer fermentation time, say 9.5-11℃.
6.When moving several batches of wort into same one fermenter, the cooling temperature should be lower, but the temperature of next batch could be a little higher.
7.Actually, it is normal to control the bottom fermentation temperature at 8-12℃. Except the special beer recipe, the wort cooling temperature could be controlled higher to faster the cycling of your beer equipment, but must in the premise of ensuring the wort quality and yeast performance.
