So I did my first all-grain batch 2 weeks ago... 15 days to be exact. It was a 1-gallon Everyday IPA kit from Brooklyn Brew Shop. Brew process went seemingly fine... no real hiccups. After putting it in the fermentor, it had a pretty quick and violent fermentation for about 20-24 hours and then it went silent (not a touch of visible activity after that first 24 hours). It cleared up within a day or two and was super clear. I told myself I wouldn't touch it for at least 2-3 weeks. Well yesterday, it was still nice and clear, but I started seeing a few bubbles forming on top (hasn't been a bubble on top or in the airlock in 14 days). Today, it is super cloudy again and I'm getting lots of bubbles on top and in the airlock again. I haven't removed the airlock or touched it since I first put it in the fermentor. The only thing that has really changed is the temperature, but just by about 2 degrees. I was keeping it at 68-70... but the past 4 or 5 days I've been keeping it at between 70-72. Will that extra 2-degrees make so much of a difference that it would cause this, or is there something else going on?
