I try and ferment everything around 65-68F....just my preference. Ive havn't had any bad brews due to ferm temp, just other BS things that I wasnt paying attention to.
Unless its a Scottish ale..then I'll try for even lower. 62F....Or if its a Belgian i'll go Higher 70-73F
It does depend greatly on yeast strain, but in the end just use your best judgment and research the yeast before fermentation.
happy brewing.
if you want more esters that the yeast strain brings to the table (fruity)...ferment in the high range of the temp....If you want a Cleaner tasting brew without any flavors imparted by the yeast ferment in the Low range of the temp.
