What are the consequences of fermenting at low temperatures. I've got an extra foreign stout coming up on 2 weeks in primary and the temps have been ranging from the high 50's to the low-mid 60's.(im cheap on my gas bill) I had assumed that low temps would just mean that it would take longer to ferment. Let me know whats up. Thanks :drunk:
 
My basement does not get above 60 in the winter. have no trouble at all using nottingham or 05. I see no difference in quality or time from the summer where it stays at 70.
