ESB conditioning in fermenter at 15°C / 59°F?

[StevAmos]

I have had an ESB in a brew fridge for 8 days now and activity from the airlock has stopped, apart from the occasional plop. I'd like to remove the fermenter from the fridge so I can use the fridge for an Oatmeal Stout.

I intend to keep the ESB in the fermenter for another two weeks before bottling but the warmest place in my flat, outside of the brew fridge, is 15°C / 59°F. Is that too cold?

15 degrees? Absolutely Baltic!

What yeast did you use?

 

[StevAmos]

The yeast I used was Safale S-04.

It'll be fine - a steady temperature is more important in general than a degree here or there, and actually 15C air temperature is pretty good for the later stages of fermentation.

S04 should be fine at 15° C to clear up after itself.

Did you do gravities? Whats the OG-FG and where is it now? (adj for temp)

Or, taste it, is it very sweet? (if top opening FV spray SS about the top and wipe down first?)
It may need a bit more warmth for the bottle priming?

 

[StevAmos]

The OG was 1.047. The current reading is 1.012.

I'm using a SS Brewtech Brewbucket which has a thermowell and a tap for taking samples.

Thanks for the advice everyone. I'm very pleased to be able to get another brew going this weekend.
