True Brew Amber kit instructed to put 3 gal of cold water in fermenter, chill wort to under 90. Did this, added a little more water to get closer tp 5 gal, and the temp in the fermenter is now around 55°!
Heating boiling some water to top it off to 5 gal but there's not much room left. Dammit.
Going to pitch Safale S-05
EDIT: added a few cups of boiled water and gently rocked bucket. Got temp up around 60, so I pitched S-05 dry, one packet plus a little extra from a previous packet (which had been sealed and in the freezer until this morning.). So likely 13 g of S-05
OG 1.044
