I usually ferment using WLP001 which has a suggested temp range of 68-73 degrees. which works out perfectly for me since we keep our house at 70% so I can easily through my fermenter in a closet (~71 degrees).
I'm now however using WLP009 which has a suggested range of 65-70 degrees. Is the temp in my closet a bit too high for this strain of yeast? I checked my garage today (California) and it was high in the high 50's. Not yet sure how hot it gets in the day or how cold at night. If I choose to ferment in my garage would this temp be too low?
If I had to choose between my closet which is a bit too high or my garage which is a bit too low, which should I go with?
This is what I'm thinking. Too high of a temperature could lead to off flavors while a low temperature may just take a little more time fermenting, so I should probably go with the garage. Is this correct?
