minimum ale yeast fermentation temperature

That's a good idea, thanks!

Some ale yeasts worke better at low temps than others, buit that's too low for just about all of them. Assuming your also using Cooper's yeast, you should get it more like 65-68F. Otherwise, fermentation will be slow to non existent. I put my fermenters in a large plastic tub of water to buffer thermal changes, then put in an aquarium heater to maintain the temp. You might consider something like that.

Another solution is to build someting like that:

and replace the ice bottles by 1 or 2 60 wats lamps plugged in the thermostat circuit instead of the fan (change circuit and fillage accordingly). I know a grewer who have somthing like that and it's enough to keep the a good temp. Also whit little modification it can be transform to keep hot tmps when it'S cold or cold temps when hot.

Put the wife in the garage and brew in the house?

Get the priorities straight ;-)
