I just picked back up brewing after a couple of years and just made a Belgian Ale today. After the wort was done I put 14Lbs of bagged ice and chilled water to help with the chill time of the wart and the temperature ended up a very low 55 F. I had to boil a little water to get the temp up to 67 before I added the water based yeast, I know that the extra water I put into the wort will affect the beer, but will the low temperature have a negative effect on the fermentation process?
