OK guys, I have a few beers under my belt here, but have never fermented one at so low of a temp. 2 weeks ago I made a Continental Dark Beer. Pitched my yeast, and had fermentation within the first 15 hours. I started it off at 65*, then lowered the temp to 55* once fermentation had kicked off. it fermented very well for about 4 days, then started to slow down. It has been out in the garage at a constant 55* (heated garage) and has not had a single bubble for nearly a week. Today, I moved it into the basement where it is roughly 64-65 degrees, and it has started bubbling again. Does this mean the fermentation has started up again, or do you think its just bubbling due to the change in temps. I did not check final gravity yet because I had planned on it setting for atleast another week before i bottle.
