Hello, everyone! First off, I'm excited to have found this community! But here's what the situation is.
Got gifted a Craft-a-Brew Irish Stout kit by a friend, and I've got the proto-beer in the carboy for primary fermentation. I'm concerned, though, because I didn't keep a close enough eye on the temp in the closet I've had it in, so we've potentially had up to a few days in the low-to-mid 50's. I've done some reading on other posts and know there are a lot of factors that affect yeast activity at certain temperatures.
My question is, now that I've moved it to a space in a more ideal temperature range, should I do anything additionally to wake my yeast back up? Or will the rise in temperature do the work for me, and just add some time to my ferment? I've considered giving it a stir, but would prefer not to run the risk of contamination.
Thanks for your time, y'all!
