Is about 62-63 too cold for an ale?
I put a towel around my carboy last night dipped in water so it didnt get above 70 or so while I was sleeping. This morning it was at about 62 or 63. I am letting it warm to about 66 now.
The dry yeast package says its good from 55 to 70. Should I leave the towel be or warm it above 65 or so as it seems to be a rule of thumb?
Thanks!
Oh and fermentation has started.
