I've been fermenting an ale (Safale 05) for 10 days now. My temperature readings for the cooler have been 60-70' which is great. The problem is my probe is at the top of the cooler and I never considered measuring the temperature of the water (Idiotic!)
Long story short, the ALE has been fermenting at 45'-55' for 10 days. I just popped the lid; nice krausen on top, hydrometer reading at 1.030 (O.G. 1.060), it smelled wonderful and tasted fantastic. I expect a F.G. of ~1.015
Questions: If I bring the temperature up, can I save this batch, or has it been sitting dormant too long (10 days). Do I need to re-pitch?
Thanks for getting back to me before I rack this to my porcelain carboy.
On a positive note, I can lager in this cooler. LOL!
