    I pitched wlp001 last night and started strong! My questions is my fermometer is reading 64*. I have read from previous posts that the temp of the liquid could be 5* higher inside. White labs site says proper temp should be 68-73. What do you guys think? Should I warm it up a bit or not?

    I'm sure you'll be just fine. I've used 001 right around that temperature before and everything turned out great. So my vote is just let it do it's thang!

    Leave it. Low to mid 60's is great.

    Fermoneter should be pretty accurate. Even if you are 5 degrees over it would be fine.

    Your thermometer sticker should actually be within a degree of the temperature of your fermentation. The 5 degree difference would apply, if your temperature reading was measuring the ambient air temperature.
