I am brewing an Oktoberfast with Wyeast German Ale Yeast. I brewed this on Friday afternoon and pitched the yeast at about 68 degrees and by Saturday around Noon the airlock was starting to bubble. I put my primary bucket into my fridge in the garage in order to begin bringing it down to my desired fermentation temp of 60 degrees. I had to go out of town and got back today around 5 PM and checked my brew and the fridge was not on and the thermometer on my primary bucket said 78 degrees . All airlock activity had stopped. I turned the fridge back on to get the temps down as quick as possible. What should I do? Pitch more yeast? Will fermentation start back up when temps drop?
