Short Version : Had a 5 gallon APA carboy fermenting precisely at 66F in primary for 10 days. Now its at 50F. What effect can/should I expect?
Long Version : Moved it to garage and was planning to rack to secondary carboy and then cellar for 2 or more weeks. But before i could rack it to secondary I THREW OUT MY BACK and now the primary is stuck in the 2nd fridge that does not yet have a temp controller on it.... The warmest it will stay without turning off entirely is around 50F..... Not sure when I'll be able to rack it or bottle/keg... My wife is far too tiny to lift the carboy on my behalf.
Anyone had experience with such a temp change / fermentation schedule???
Thanks, Tim
