24 hours into my batch of modified Mr. Beer Czech Pilsner, I'm seeing definite fermentation activity in the 8Lx fermenter. While I understand that some yeasts take 48-72 hours to really get to work, I'm concerned that I'm messing up my first batch.
The temp in the fermenter has held steady at 57° since I pitched the yeast (based on ABV I used the entire pack of Safale S-04). As for where it's sitting, it's in my basement (I'm in Michigan) on a shelf. Ambient temperature is approximately 67°. I have a small house (and a toddler), so unfortunately, I can't move it out of the basement.
Do I need to be worried, or is this just first-time jitters? Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks.
