Take a starter made for a 5.5 gallon batch using Wyeast 1056 which has a fermentation temperature range of 60F-72F.
@60F how much yeast is needed?
@72F how much yeast is needed?
The yeast pitching calculators don't account for yeast temperature ranges, only if the beer is a lager or ale.
1.) Is there a significant difference between the upper and lower temperature ranges with regard to pitch rate?
2.) Can this be calculated? How?
3.) Have there been any studies or experiments done in this regard?
* - Just to clarify, this is a scientific question about the difference in the calculated pitch rate between the low and high temp range of the yeast. Apologies if the questions are unclear or if this is the wrong forum. Moderator perhaps this question would be better in the science forum.
