Hi All,
What is the best temp fermentation schedule for Imperial A38 Juice strain?

Thank you!
 
For A38 and 1318 I pitch at 65°F and run it there for 4-5 days then bump to 67°F over a few days where it stays until it's time for a soft-crash for dry hopping. The typical 1.070 hazy IPAs I favor take 6~7 days to reach terminal SG but I give them the extra handful of days for clean-up, so usually 10~11 days before soft-crashing...

Cheers!
 
Thank you! I thought I had seen some people saying they ferment usually starting at 70 - 72 but couldn't find the post now so figured I'd ask a few people.
Thank you
 
You can't go wrong as long as you stay in the temp parameters. I've had temps of 65 all the way to 69 . I couldn't tell you the difference. Where you might get an issue is if you pitch at the high end of parameter, say 73-4 and you can't keep it at that temp during active fermentation. That rising temp will push you over the recommended temp.
