OK - My first beer after an 8 year hiatus (life happens)
I did an extract IPA but and used US-05 yeast, it started right up after a few hours and at that 40 hour mark has a pretty active fermentation.
My only concern is that I am too cool at 62F (this is outside temp in my basement). I chose this spot since it's always same temp, where rest of house may vary from 62-68 depending on time of day.
Thoughts? Should I move it upstairs where it may be warmer?
Thanks - and this board is great wish I had found it when I first tried doing this 10 years ago.
