The latest recipe for Two Hearted Ale (TH) in Zymurgy was supposedly written by Bell's Production Manager. It calls for pitching yeast at 64 F. Then it goes on to say "Ferment warm (ale temperature)". Can one assume "warm" is the the pitching temperature they cited, or should it be warmer? The TH recipe in BYO's clone recipe edition calls for fermentation at 70F. That's a huge differerence.
I pitched a 2L starter of harvested TH yeast yesterday in a 10-gallon batch and it is currently fermenting at 64F, as measured with a thermowell probe. Just wondering if I need to bump up the temperature so it finishes at the correct FG and still gives me the yeast profile of TH.
