I am about to brew a Strong Scotch ale for the first time and have a 2L starter of wyeast 1728 on the stir plate now. The wyeast site says fermentation temp range is 55* - 75*! I would like a little direction from someone who has used this yeast before on what results they got from what temperatures.
I have never brewed this style or used this yeast before. I have sampled a few of the commercial varieties and love the smooth malty un hoppy flavor. A few (the great divide one comes to mind) had a bit of a smoky finish - this was ok but I am hoping to avoid it and get more of the Bell haven flavor.
