fermentation temp got wayyyy too cold

[willz]

I am currently brewing a brown ale. I had my carboy sitting on a tile floor and have been successful at keeping the temp around 65 degrees until today. I left for work, came home and it was quite cold today. To find the temp dropped to the low 50's and there is no bubbling or even pressure in the airlock at all. On Saturday this will only be 2 weeks in the primary so I'm a bit concerned. Any help would be super appreciated. Thanks!

I'd say you'll be ok after you warm things back up. More then likely the yeast is just dormant and will wake back up. If I'm wrong, someone please correct me. Cheers!

I had that happen with the last cold snap while I was gone. I think you have to warm it up, get it off the floor, and maybe swirl it to get the yeast back into suspension.

Since it's been almost 2 weeks you should be OK. I'd warm it up and take some gravity readings over a few days to make sure it's done.

Yeah, likely your beer was already done fermenting and at FG by 10 days, but a gravity reading will be the deciding factor.
