This is what happens in the secondary
Brewing June 30th, 2008Here is a good example of why it is good to use a secondary fermentor. This is my Saison Ete and I was a bit worried about the cloudiness when going into the secondary. You can see how it goes from a very light butter color to nice clear beer. Yes, this is the same beer after about a month in the secondary. I’ll probably bottle in a week or two depending on my schedule. And yes, that is a 78 F temp on the carboy. Ok for a saison, but I’ve got definate fermentation temperature issues in my current apartment.

I had temperature issues when I was in an apartment too. If I had to do it over again I think I would just have broken down and made a small closet for the carboys and installed a tiny window AC unit. Not cheap, but at least it works. You have to figure a way to eliminate/redirect the condensate too.
