I've just made only my second batch of beer, this time in considerably colder times. I pitched the yeast yesterday at around 16 degrees C and the beer has dropped to around 15 now one day on. The yeast packet said that 15-20 is ideal. Will the fermentation still start at these temperatures? Will heating it up help to start or a day after pitching have I messed it up?
The brew is an American pale ale and the yeast was safale us 05. I've now wrapped the fermenter up in blankets to try and raise the temp but I am not sure if I can leave it at the lower temp? Any help much appreciated for an amateur.
