I recently made two beers. 1 is a Winter Beer Started on the 21st with Safe ale 05 It's been at 59F Steady from the start. Actual temp not air.
It's still Foamy at the top and cloudy and the airlock barely bubbles. It was a very active fermentation was coming through the blow off tube for 4-5 days.
The second beer is a Honey Ale. Started late on the 26th with Danstar Windsor yeast. It's been in the exact temp range 59F steady. This one didn't take long to start and was very strong also but for only a day and a half then it completely died down.
Are these temps acceptable? I still need to get a better control on temps. These I put in front of a vent in my basement with cool air coming in to keep temps down during the start. I just moved them to a slightly warmer area today since they seem to have died down. Would this be the best move for them to finish out and clean up? And should the beer be clean fermenting at the temps from above?
