Is an ambient 61 degrees too cold to do an ale? I know that the temperature inside the carboy is usually 5-10 degrees warmer, which would put the temperature inside at the right temp.
I am a bit worried that 61 may be too low to get things going though.
I do understand that there are certain yeast strains, such as the California Common strain, that does well in the low 60's, however I had other brews that I wanted to do while it was still a bit warm.
Thanks for any info!
