Hello all<
I recently acquired a stir plate WITH a heat plate combo. The heat plate can get VERY hot and I have a hard time controlling the heat setting so the solution is below 100 degrees F. I barely move the dial to the on position and the best I can hold a steady temp is at about 84 - 90. (this is in a basement with ambient temp of about 64 F).
Can most ale yeasts tolerate up to 100 F? Is it actually beneficial?
Thanks all!
