So I just did my first batch. I did a brewer's best kit for imperial nut brown. My starting gravity came in perfect. I put my carboy in the basement to ferment and it went buck wild for a day or two. The temperature really dropped off and now my basement is holding at the low end of ale fermentation temp.
I don't have a final gravity but based on the finish alcohol range of my beer and some math I should have a drop of about 60 points... I've dropped about 40 over the course of a week.
Should I move the whole carboy upstairs to get the temp up? This will result in a lot of jostling around. Do I just wait it out and let it keep goin? Should I rack to secondary and let it keep going so I can start another kit? Just lookin for some advice.
Thanks
