In reading on this subject, it appears that propagating at 65-75 degrees for a lager yeast starter is ok. What about temps a bit above that? I live in Phoenix. Summer a/c bills being what they are, we get by with temps around 78-79 at night, but 81-84 during the weekdays when no one is home. Is that going to be an issue?
I use a stir plate and have a temp controlled fermentation chamber. Would I be better off using the fermentation chamber for making the starter?
