My background: Novice brewer. Have brewed about a dozen times in the last 2 years. Have some equipment beyond the basics, but I haven't broken the bank or gotten my PhD in brewing yet.
So, yesterday I brewed Northern Brewer's Caribou Slobber Ale. I used the dry yeast that came with the kit, but whipped up a yeast starter in the morning to help it out before pitching it. Brewing was uneventful and I pitched the yeast like normal. About 5 hours after pitching the yeast, I see good bubbles in the airlock. This morning I wake up and there's no action whatsoever. The only thing I can think of is that the beer cooled off below when the yeast will work. I've stuck the bucket in a small bathroom and I'm working to heat up the beer to around 75 degrees, but assuming that doesn't work, does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
