Hey guys I brewed up an all simcoe iipa the other day and tried a new technique.
I put my carboy in the bathtub in water at 61 degrees for 4 days. Gravity went from 1074 to 1020 using WLP 007.
I noticed the bubbles coming to a stop so I pulled the carboy out and put in a closet around 68 degrees and swirled it.
Today I noticed the fermentation starting up again which is what I want.
I know the first 3 or 4 days are crucial for cool temps for ales and the rest isn't as important.
My question is, what can I expect from this sudden increase in fermentation temperature?
