I just brewed an all grain Wee Heavy, using Wyeast 1728 Scottish Ale Yeast. My original gravity was about 1.078. What are ideal temperatures for primary and secondary fermentation for a wee heavy using this yeast? I have it currently sitting at about 60F. Thanks for any suggestions!
 
From DGB; Key Success Factors in Brewing Scottish-Style and Scotch Ales:
  • Conduct the primary fermentation at 55 to 60 ºF (13 to 16 ºC). Primary fermentation may take up to three weeks.
  • Cold-condition the beer for six weeks to three months at 35 to 45 ºF (2 to 7 ºC).
