Beer yeast for fluctuating winter temperatures

[Sandy Feet]

Monastey yeast?
As any of the Belgian abbaye's?
It's a very insulated set up. Big igloo cooler box, fermenter wrapped in duvets inside that cooler box and the lid closed.
I use a blow of tube as I can't close the lid otherwise

I will start some experiments. Got a batch going on T58 with temp control.
Maybe I just use that trub and see what happens when I put it in the cooler box.
Or maybe not, because that means my fermentation fridge is actually free

Yes. I did use one that went a little colder than what I would have liked (I want to say it was the Wyeast Ardennes). Maybe that isn't an Abbey but from a similar region. It smelled like a Belgian, but tasted more like an English beer at those temps.

I just use a small heater in my fermenting freezer for very stable temps in the winter.
