Those are wort temps. I ferment in my basement which is usually around 65-66 degrees. The first 2-3 days of fermenting it rises to 68-70 which works with this yeast.

It takes me about 1 week to fully carb this beer in a keg. I rarely force carb it at a higher psi. I set it at 10-12 psi and wait a full week.

My LHBS sells Briess 2-row for $59 and another one for $63. Crazy high--right? The last time I used Rahr, I had really poor efficiency with it.
