Due to the sun being so low this time of year that window only gets direct sunlight for 4 hours per day through winter so it should be fine. I need to devise some method of conditioning my beer for the summer as my house is like an oven

When i use the brew belt fermentation usually takes 7-8 days. The bavarian beer took a bit longer as 12 days but lager ferments at a much lower temperature so i didnt use the belt for that.

Hi,

Even in brown bottles, should you leave the beer in direct sunlight for 12 hours a day?

I’m interested to know how quick your fermentations are at 23 degrees, and what the results are like – Im probably fermenting at 17 degrees or below currently (too early to tell how well this is going really, but I didn’t want to spend time and money on heating equipment until I was sure I needed it.

Looking forward to seeing how your brews come out.

Cheers.
