I'm planning on brewing a weizenbier extract kit from Brewer's Best (http://www.brewersbestkits.com/pdf/1030 2016 Weizenbier Recipe.pdf) this weekend. I purchased two of the following thermometers which I plan to tape to the side of my primary and secondary fementers so I can monitor the temperature and adjust my swamp cooler as necessary.

My goal for this batch is to improve my temperature control in all aspects of a batch (from brew day through bottling).
The instructions from the kit recommend fermenting between 64 - 72 F. They provide Danstar Munich wheat beer yeast which you can purchase from Northern Brewer here:

On the above website, it says the optimum temperature is 55 - 66 F, which is different than what the Brewer's Best instructions recommend.
I'm wondering at what temperature I should pitch the yeast and at what temperature I should keep the primary fermenter for this yeast?
