I have been using this yeast for years and love it. I have fermented it in the low 60s many times, especially at 62 or 63 Fahrenheit. With the recent cold front my pantry has been a good bit colder and my swamp cooler fermentation set up ran cooler than expected. I am fermenting a 1.084 OG wee heavy. I pitched a healthy 2.2L starter and had active fermentation at 12 hours. It has been bubbling consistently at a moderate rate ever since, acting as WLP028 usually does. I LOVE this yeast! My fermentation profile should be near perfect with temps ending in the low 60s as fermentation is complete.

This is a beer I've brewed before so I'll have a good baseline for how it should taste. I've heard of others fermenting this low with this yeast, I'm curious of your results?
