I have a lagering fridge our under our carport. Being in Texas, sub freezing weather isn't the norm but we're going through a cold spell for a few days. I've got a lager that I brewed on Saturday night that has been fermenting away nicely until today. I got home and because of the weather the fridge thermostat was reading 34. I put a higher wattage bulb inside and rigged the light to stay on. The temperature has slowly started to rise since I did that.
The problem is that I'm getting no sign of activity now since the temp got so low. Do I just bring the temp back to 50 and wait for bubbling to begin again or do I need to raise the temps a bit more and maybe do a gentle shake with the fermenter?
