I've got a wheat sitting in my primary and a stout in my secondary, both carboys are in my basement covered with towels. The wheat I made last Saturday and I still have a large krausen covering the top although little activity in the airlock. The stout on the other hand is been sitting for a month because the FG is still too high to bottle. Was at 1.020 last Saturday and should be at 1.014 minimum. I transferred it to a secondary last Saturday and the next day I have considerable foam on top.
Now my basement is finished but in trying to save some money we keep the heat lower and both carboys are around 58-60 degrees and that's with towels draped over them. Could this be a problem or is that temp ideal? I was considering moving them to a warmer part of the house but wasn't sure.
Thanks
