Where to ferment on the temperature scale

[bikeandbrew84]

Hey guys,

I have noticed all wyeast I get there is a 10 degree range in optimum fermentation temperatures.However can you tell what of those is most ideal? Is it better to ferment at the low end or the high end?

I always ferment on the lower side, over time you will find where you like it. for instance WLP001 says 68-73 but I like it at 65.

The low end should give you cleaner flavors, high end more esters (think fruity).

Lower and slower.
