I've got my IPA dry-hopping in my secondary right now. A combination of cold weather, me turning down the thermostat and closing the door Saturday had the batch sitting around 60 degrees. Is that OK? Is the temperature of the beer in the secondary not as important as the temperature when it's in the primary?

Thanks.
 
It is not as important in the secondary, ideally you would keep it around 65 to 68 to let the yeast continue there cleaning up. You should be good to go!

Good to know. I had to up the temp and then leave, but it should be sitting in the 65* range, at the least. I'll have to check again tomorrow. Thanks.
