I'm currently making a starter with Wyeast 1084 to be used in a Dry Stout recipe. I am not familiar with WY 1084. Wyeast Labs states the ideal temperature range is 62F-72F.
When I research what others have fermented at, it is all over the place. Some people ferment at 62F for 14 days, while others go up to 72F. Many have various steps. Most try to avoid going over 70F.
I have a CF10 so I can dump the yeast easily at any point. My initial thought for the fermentation profile is:
Primary: 63F for 5 days
Primary: 65F for 5 days
Primary: 68F for 4 days
Dump yeast
Secondary: 68F for 3 days
Cold Crash: 32F for 4 days
Condition in Bright Tank: 7-14 days
I use a Tilt, so I can easily adjust the temperature when I see the fermentation start to slow.
What are your thoughts and suggestions?
