Lagering is the process by which lager beer is aged for extended periods at cold temperatures. Strictly speaking, lagering occurs after the completion of fermentation. In unitanks, primary fermentation yeast is dropped and discarded at the conclusion of primary fermentation.
If the temperature is too cool, the fermentation will be sluggish, resulting in an opportunity for the growth of contaminants, such as wild yeast and bacteria. In terms of fermentation, lager yeasts are routinely fermented between 40â54 Â°F (4â12 ÂºC) while ale yeast is used from 55â70 Â°F (13â21 ÂºC). The optimal fermenting temperatures of yeast vary considerably. Some ale yeasts for example, do not perform well below 65 Â°F (18 ÂºC).
