In Western MA. Sams summer clone, great ferment for 7 days at 72. then we lost power due to the storm. Its now down to 56 in the fermenter. I wont be able to bottle until maybe Saturday. Im thinking go straight to bottle rather than warm it back up. We wont have power for at least 3 days.
Lost power, very cold fermentation

Why a second yeast?
If the SG is higher than expected, pitching more yeast into a too-cold fermenter will just result in a lot more stunned yeast sitting in the bottom wondering wtf hit them.
Take the SG reading, adjust for temperature (off the top of my head, subtract a point) and if it's too high get that puppy warmed up so the existing yeast can get back to work...
Cheers!
