Brewferm Triple Fermentation Temp Too High?

[roxy35]

Hello everyone,

My Brewferm instructions say to ferment for 10 days at 25 degrees celcius, which is 77 degrees F. Does this strike anyone always exceedingly warm? I like to ferment, as many do, in the upper 60s. Would it hurt to ferment at 67?

And FYI, I have an OG at 1.070, in case that matters. Thanks!

What yeast is it?

A couple of thoughts. 10 days is waaaaaay to short for most Belgian yeasts.

77 is a little high but starting out low and then letting it get that high is fine.


Again it will all depend on the yeast strain.

I used the Brewferm Dried Yeast that was included in the package. Not really sure anything else about it.

Is this the yeast?

That seems to be the only Belgian Brewferm yeast I could find. If it is, the temp range is listed as 64-73.

The pack of yeast that came with the kit was in a plain silver package with no writing on it. There is no mention anywhere in the documentation either what kind it is.
