Shut up about Barclay Perkins - Edinburgh's chilly climate
Visit the Shut up about Barclay Perkins site
Scotland is icy cold. Everyone knows that. And that's why they fermented their beer so cold.
How much colder would you expect the ambient temperature to be in Edinburgh than London? If they fermented 10º F cooler, that seems a reasonable guess. 10º F is about 6º C. The biggest monthly difference is actually 5.5º C.
Here's an easy-to-understand table:

Not a huge difference, is there? So why didn't they ferment cold in Burton?
