With my 2nd batch fermenting away, I was wondering what people made of the really wide range of temps for certain yeast strains?
I'm using Wyeast 1028 London Ale for this batch, which is a porter, and I noticed that Wyeast puts the temperature range at 60F-72F. Seems really odd to see such a wide range, especially one that goes up into the 70's!
I started fermenting at about 68, but have now brought it down to 65 over the course of the first 36 hours. Is this a very forgiving strain, or should I consider cooling it further?
