Is this the temp you pitch at, although I'm guessing no, or the max temp you want the yeast to get up to during the really active violent stage of fermentation? I ferment in my basement and temps from summer to now are 61-64 ambient so I try to get my wort down that low when I pitch but as the yeast works as we all know it gives off heat so I'll see the temp climb from say 63 at pitching to 65-66 then while it's really chugging away it'll hit 70 then slowly drops again. So say if a description for a particular yeast says best between 66-68deg is this the temp during peak fermentation when heat is given off the most? If so I'm guessing the only way to control this is climate control or just pitch a couple deg lower then ambient temp in the basement? So far most of my beers fermentations peak at 70 if I pitch around 64-65 deg and so far no off favors from the usual us-04 05, wlp001 and 500 I've used. Thanks for the clarification.
