If you have a yeast that has a spec. of 65 to 75 degrees, that is the heat of the fermenting wort right? The heat fermentation generates counts right? So if the room is 70 and the fermentation is occurring at 74 I'm not at the middle range but instead at the upper range of those yeast, regardless of the room temp, right? I mean granted after 72 hours and the vigorous fermentation ends the temperature drops back to 72 and w/in a week it is at ambient temp. So, what do you state the fermentation temperature as being?
Pitch at 70, warms to 74, back to 70 (ambient) after 1 week. Keep it in the fermentor for another 2 weeks at 70. Do those 2 weeks count and figure in to the fermentation temp, or do you just consider those few vigorous days when stating the fermentation temp?
Thanks!
