Best temperature for fermentation??

[onealz709]

What's the (perfect temperature) to let my wine ferment at? I have 10 gallons of muscadines that have been fermenting for 2 days now at around 70-75*F seems to be doing just fine but I was just curious for the ideal temp??

What yeast are you using? I'm no expert around here yet but the others who can help better will want to know more details. Different strains of yeast have different temperature ranges. Do you have a means of cooling the must?

Im using red star montrachet on the muscadines and EC-1118 on the blueberries. And yes I can control the temperature anywhere from 65-79 degrees.

The best thing to do to get started is reference the data sheet for each yeast you are using and determine the temperature range. I can provide a link later but I only have this 30 to write a response at the moment. Back to work!

Generally speaking though, keeping things on the cooler side seems to help.
