Hi, brilliant brewers,
My first-ever batch is sitting quietly in the basement, appearing to be doing its thing after Monday's brew day. The temps have been good for mid-July in Boston, meaning that the dark basement spot where the fermenter sits has been in the mid to low 70s while outside temps were in the 80s this past week. I noticed that it's supposed to climb into the 90s by Wednesday - should I worry about the fermentation? What would you recommend I do, if anything? We do not have an AC-controlled house. Thanks all - I feel like a nervous first-time papa with this batch!
