    Fermentation not starting

    Yeah, but 60° is the refrigirator temp, not the wort. I assume that the fermentation will raise the beer temp to 68. Tell me if I wrong. Or maybe I should put the keezer at 68 and lower it to 60 when the fermentation as began? Do its a better option to pitch new yeast or it will be ok? Thank
