Brewed a Hanks Hefe in the rain Saturday, when I got up Sunday morning it was bubbling nicely. I let it remain ambient temp until this morning and put it into the ferm chamber at 14.5 degrees C ( about 58 F) It seems like the bubbling has almost completely stopped. Is it possible I shocked the yeast goin from ambient of 24.1 to cooled 14.5 too fast? I know the RDWAHB motto, but it seems so abrupt that I was wondering if I should have lowered it to an intermediate temp and to the final temp in smaller steps. This is the maiden voyage of the Keezerator fermamongous I built from a used freezer so I am just a tad concerned I might have hurt my yeasties. Experts, whattya think....
