temp and cider fermentation question

[baddagger]

hey all just wondering right now im on batch 2 & 3 of making hard cider got a 5 gallon and a 6 gallon going on right now, the cider has been sitting in the carboys sense the begging/middle of december, was able to get my hands on the last of my local apple farms fresh cider

but anyways back to my question, they been sitting sense begging/middle of december and i still see air bubbles comming up, so i assume its still going threw fermentation, but i live in new england and it is now starting to get cold out and i see that the temp on carboys are about 60-62ish .. now is that too cold for cider? or is that going to cause it to realy slow down in fermentation speed? i used two differnt yeast White Labs English Cider and Safale S-04

I think the safale might still be ok, but it seems you are well below the range of the WL. What are the specific gravities of each of them right now?

i can't exactly answer your question but will point out that ciders, wines etc can release gas bubbles for a while after fermentation has finished, as they degas; they are saturated with CO2 and it slowly bubbles out. doesn't mean they are or aren't done, only a gravity reading can tell you that.

well i just moved the ciders to a nother part of the house.. i am goign to let them sit for a nother week or two for ageing(and i will take a gravit reading), so the yeast cam to do its work, then i will move them to a keg to age...
