Hello all,
Just brewed my second batch, a holiday ale. I think everything went well except I do not own a wort chiller. Live in the northeast so put the 5 gallon pale outside, with cover loosely on so to cut out bacteria. But it still took about 4-5 hours for temp to get into 70's to pitch yeast. Yeast was saf-56 I believe, it came with kit. Will this long temp decrease cause a problem. I have plenty of fermentation bubbles in airlock.
