Hey everyone,
I just finished another batch about a week and a half ago (Oberon567's Dog Days of Summer Ale"), and I have some questions about the temp. I kept it pretty well in the low to mid 60s up until the last few days. The temp dropped quite a bit here, and I'm having trouble keeping my basement at a reasonable temp. It looked to me like fermentation had slowed quite a bit anyway before this happened, but now the thermometer on the outside of the bucket says about 58. I'm assuming its probably a bit warmer in the bucket, but guessing not by much. Is this too cold? I could move it upstairs, but it's about 70 there, so that may be a bit too high. Advice?
