Hello all,
I recently brewed my 1st batch of American Wheat and bottled it about a week and 1/2 ago. It's primary fermentation was 1 week then I primed and bottled it as per the kit's instructions. It said to bottle and condition in a cool space for about a month. I did the primary fermentation in a 68 F environment, but have been conditioning the bottles in my basement which is about 60, 62 degrees.
After looking at some forums, I am worried that the basement might be to cool and not sure if moving them back upstairs would help or hurt at this point.
I have the batch split between a 1/2 gallon grolsh top growler, 1 case of 22 oz and 1 case of 12 oz caps.
Am I safe leaving in the basement or should I move to a warmer environment? Any recommendations and knowledge on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again.
