I bought an old fridge to ferment in. I didn't realize that the external thermometer crapped out and it's been around 50* for two weeks. Should I try to re pitch or just bring the temp up and wait it out?
 
If your gravity is still high per your hydrometer, your ale yeast didn't work in those temps but you could repitch some lager yeast if that is the case. If the beer is finished (ie-correct final gravity) then rack it to your keg or bottle it.
 
I just noticed today and didnt have time to do a reading. I was using wlp04
