Last weekend 3/3/12, my buddy and I made a 10 gallon batch of some cream ale using Wyeast 2565. We split the batch and I took it home with me. The initial OG reading was 1.052 for both of us and I keep my basement at about 63-64°F - On Sunday, I needed a blowoff tube because of a very vigorous fermentation.
Today (6 days later) I racked to a secondary and took a gravity reading. It was at 1.006
My buddy says he is fermenting at 58°F and he is still having some airlock activity. I wanted to know if I had too high of a temperature, or is he too low of a fermenting temp? Also, if I should be fine with how fast my yeast worked. I am planning on leaving it sit in the secondary for at least another week or possibly 2, then to bottle.
Thoughts?
