Great to see a homebrewing community starting up! I don't have anything in the fermenter right now, but in the coming days I'll probably brew my house helles :-)
Could never bring myself to brew low temp fermenting stuff, I'm too lazy for temperature control. Kveik was godsent from this respect (yeah, I know I should heat it, but strains I've used so far seem very forgiving at basically room temp).
Yeah, it's a bit more work with temperature control.. But I think it's very nice to be able to remove temperature as a variable when trying to reproduce beers. Being able to get the same temps (regardless of if they're high or low) removed some of the guesswork for me.. There's enough of that anyway! :D
Some lager yeasts supposedly perform very well even in higher temps (especially if you ferment under pressure!).
I should brew with some kveik again myself.. They're nice yeasts!
