I've got a carboy of Cider with Wyeast sweet mead, and three fermenters going now... two with S-05, and one with S-04.
The problem is that our house was quite cool over the weekend, with a power outage knocking the heat out (went down below 60) and our night-time temps are around 62 on the thermostat.
What are the possible risks... am I going to get a stuck fermentation on these batches, and how can I check the condition of them?
Do I assume that if it's attenuated within a certain range I'm in good shape? Trying to avoid having many bottle bombs in the basement, but don't want to wait overly long to bottle if these are actually nearly done.
FWIW, it's the NB extract smashing pumpkin, the NB Nukey, and the NB ESB kits respectively.
The cider is straight, locally pressed, UV treated with no preservatives, no added octane in the form of more concentrate/juice etc.
Thanks...
