Fermenting temp question

[mchansen]

Hi

Just a qustion about fermenting temperature.

My IPA is bubling away quite heavily on the second day, the worth temp is about 18-20c. This is my 6th brew and I have never seen so much activity in my brew before. My question is now, when the bubling is over do I still have to keep the temp at this level or does it matter if the temp drop to about 10c.

The reason I ask is because I will have to go away for about 10 days with my job and the brew will not be ready to bottle before I go away.


Regards

Hi Chris

Thanks for your reply.

You say "fermented and conditioned " but if it ferment out in, lets say 4 days, it still haven't conditioned, so that means I can't drop the temp to 10c after the 4 days

Thanks

It is just because I do my brew in my log cabin in the back garden, and now I am getting a conservatry build, when I am away they might cut of the power to my cabin, but just to be sure I think I will move the bucket in to the spare room.

Thanks again
