For the most part yes, it attenuates just fine for me, my basement rarely gets above 62º and Ive never had it not get 90% attenuation.

us-05 works fine, too. Neutral and dependable. Dump in 2-3 packs or make a starter of one pack.
here's a good article about brewing ris and certain qualities that are appropriate. brewers association | style spotlight: Imperial russian stout they mention specifically that it is fermented very warm.
I have used wlp001 in conjunction with wlp099 in the past.
What do you guys think of using London Ale yeasts in this, I like the flavor profile they give off for heavy beers. Also anyone else curious about WLP050 (whiskey yeast) for RIS brews. They claim it would work well for the application and I am guessing it would.
1318 is fantastic for a RIS, i recently made my best variation of it with that yeast. if 050 is the one i'm thinking of from NHC it should work well. you could always split off part of the batch onto that if you want to give it a go
I'm looking for an OG around 1.090 with an SG hopefully somewhere in the 1.010 - 1.012 range. IBU's around 30.
