I've been scanning the various threads for some answers but am getting some conflicting info.
First batch has been in primary for 8hrs and no action. I know that it can sometimes take 24-72hrs. before fermentation tbegins but my question is about my fermentation temp.
My primary is in a dark room w/ a consistent temp of 52F. Is this temp too cold for the yeast to ferment? I also have a dark mechanical room w/ a temp range of 65-71F. IS this a better temp for fermentation? Should I give the carboy a swirl?? Should I wrap a towel around it?? Should I move it to the warmer room?? I thought I've read that cooler temps are better for fermenting??
Not worried - yet- but would rather correct any issues sooner than later.
