Pushing the Limit: Warm-Fermented IPL & Saison Homebrews

There's been a lot of talk lately in homebrewing and craft beer circles about fermenting beer with lager yeast strains at the upper end (or beyond) of their suggested temperature range. So, we decided to put this technique to the test with our popular Dead Ringer IPA kit fermented in the low 60s with Imperial Yeast L26 Pilgrimage. In this video, Chip & William sample the beer and discuss the effect of warm-fermented lager strains. They also enjoy a sample of a Impierial Kitchen Sink Saison that was fermented fairly warm with Imperial Yeast Napoleon B64, which opens the door to a conversation about how and when you might want to ramp up the temperature on your saison fermentation. #homebrew #lagerbeer #fermentation
