Re: Newbie Fermentation question.

The fermentis website has a datasheet for each yeast that offers fermentation ranges. For 34/70 they say "fermentation temperature: 9-22°C (48.2-71.6°F) ideally 12-15°C (53.6-59°F)". http://www.fermentis.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/SFG_W34pdf.pdf As well as their full homebrewing line-up http://w...

I started a Belgian strong ale about two and a half months ago, it was a 5 gallon batch with ten pounds of sour cherries in the secondary.
