I am brewing a Rye IPA and I feel that I need to choose a yeast strain based on my fermenting temp. I have a starter ready to go with the WLP041. I have used this in the past and really liked the result. However, due to the winter temps, I was able to ferment at 67F.
My fermenting space is now sitting at 71F. It may go a couple of degrees higher but not much. I am afraid that is too warm for the WLP041. As an alternative, I have two packets of Safale S-05 as a back up. The temp range is listed at 65-75F.
So...any recommendations based on my fermentation temp? If I don't use the WLP041, I'll just decant off the liquid and put it back in the fridge until I can secure a cooler location, so no loss.
Thanks.
