Beermakers bitter - kit yeast

[brs33]

Hi all,

Just wanted some advice about a beermakers bitter kit I’m currently brewing. I’m using the kit yeast, but currently my spare room (brew room) temperature is holding my brew at about 18c.(Chilly in Victoria at the moment). Is this a little too cold for the kit yeast? There’s a nice foamy Krausen this morning after about 16 hours post yeast pitch, but I’m worried it might stall.
Cheers,

Brent

Last time I looked they were using Mauri 514 yeast, its good down to 16oC and will taste better brewed under 20oC.
I would think about leaving it alone or maybe wrapping a towel around the fermenter at night so it doesn’t drop temp too fast.
Other than that leave it alone and you are more likely to make a better beer than you will if you heat it.
