I recently brewed an all grain brown ale. The recipe called for fermentation temperatures around 63 degrees. Its been a cold winter in the midwest lately and I recently discovered that my basement has been around 55 degrees. Will the colder temperature during primary have a negative effect on the beer/yeast?
 
From what I gather just slow it down, and if you were doing a Lager 55 is perfect.

If an Ale, Porter or Stout just bring it up to temperature and it should get back to pooping CO2 and Alcohol
