I just got done brewing a Amber Ale. Added water to the wort and its around 61 degrees. Is this too cold to pitch yeast?
It's Wyeast 1272 American Ale II
Wyeast website says..
Temperature Range: 60-72F, 15-22C
I did a Golden Ale last night and pitched the yeast at 50 degrees. I too, tried a new method of cooling the wort and it worked too well LOL. This was almost 18 hours ago and it's still not fermenting. Right now, the temperature is at 64 degrees and I wrapped a blanket around the fermenter to try and warm it up a little. I did hydrate the yeast for 15 minutes, in luke warm water to get it going before I pitched it. Should I just relax or should I be worried?
