I am brewing a pale ale this coming weekend using WLP051 Cali V yeast. I just got a new chest freezer and temp controller for my fermentation. White Labs recommends this yeast between 66F-70F for optimal fermentation. I'm looking for opinions of those who have experience with this yeast. What would be a good temperature to set my controller to with this yeast? I heard a lot of people say it can take a little bit for fermentation to start with this yeast, so I plan to make a starter to nip that in the bud a little. Any suggestions would be great, thanks!
