Bottled our first 2 batches last night (golden wheat and a cream ale), so since our fermenting buckets were empty, we started brewing our 3rd batch of beer today, a dunkelweiss, extract recipe.
was reading the instruction on the vial of yeast and im a little confused on something. Instructions on the vial of White Labs hefeweizen ale yeast IV says to pitch it when the wort is 70-75 deg, and to keep it there until fermentation begins (5-15 hours).
Should I ferment this batch at that range, or once fermentation starts, bring it down into the mid 60s like the other 2 ale batches we did? Kept it around 67-68 for the other batches.
