Hi everybody,
I've been reading this forum for a couple years now, I just never needed to ask a question as most everything has already been asked. Love the search tool!
Anyhow, my question is this.
Concerning Wyeast 3787 (or any yeast for that matter) on the Wyeast website it states that the optimum temperature range is 64-78F, 18-25C. Now, does that mean you should have the fermentation taking place in an environment (the surrounding air) that is in that range or that the actual fermenting wort/liquid should be that temperature? Because right now I have my Tripel fermenting in a basement that is approx. 62º F but the fermenting wort in the carboy is about 70ºF.

I want to keep the actual fermenting liquid around 64 or 65ºF so that would mean setting the vessel out in the garage in a dark place where it is about 57ºF.
Someone please straighten me out if I have totally misunderstood what the temperature ranges actually mean
Thanks!
