I called white labs regarding WLP400 ferm temps. The packet says 3 different temps. Lager, wheat and Belgian wheat I believe, From around 60 deg(maybe less) to 78 deg. I asked how can an ale yeast ferment at lager temps.
They said the yeast could be used for multiple beers. I said I know you can ferment a lager yeast at ale temps but I thought ale yeast at lager temps would stall the yeast. They said you can start "any" yeast warm and drop the temp during active fermentation to lager
This goes against everything on the forum about stalling yeast at cold temps.
Whats the deal? I would think they know what they're talking
