I brewed a batch last Saturday. Cooled my wort and pitched some S-04 yeast. By Sunday am it was going like gangbusters.
Then the problems started. I have been using our bonus room as it stays a bit colder than the rest of our house. However I didn't think it was THAT much colder. Temps had been fairly good in the mid 60s for the most part, but we had a cold night last night and my temp has dropped to near or below 60.
I assume fermentation is primarily complete after 4+ days but haven't taken any readings. My question is am I at risk of any major off favors? Is the cold crash actually a "good" thing? And most important should I try and warm it back up or just let it warm itself over the next day or so?
Thanks in advance
