I recently started brewing my first batch of beer with the all grain kit from Brooklyn brew shop (grapefruit honey ale) and all went perfect, until fermentation. It produced a Krausen but then it seemed that fermentation stopped... the weather here in KC is ridiculously hot right now and it's hard keeping our house under 80 degrees.
I have since moved the carboy to the basement where it holds a pretty solid 75 degrees. But there is no bubbling or airlock activity. I have read that air lock activity is not a good way to judge fermentation, but should I pitch some more yeast, or should I just let it go and trust the beer gods that every thing will come out ok.
I'm just worried that the temps spiked to high at the beginning of the fermentation process.
