Real new brewer but wanting to learn. Ok so I am done brewing my Curmudgeon Old Ale clone in my Anvil foundry. I used Wyeast 1056 which I made in a starter of DME at about 1.038. Pitched and less than one day Im bubbling real good.
My question is on fermentation temperature. I am fermenting in an Anvil 7.5 stainless bucket and I have it in a room where temps stay about 66 to 68 degrees. The recipe says to ferment at 70f. Wyeast 1056 range is 60 to 72.
How critical is it to be at exactly 70 AND (I think I know the answer but help please) what is the better way to err higher than70 or lower.
I can add heat to the room to temper it up but is there a distinct advantage to that. I have to basically do nothing to keep it at 67-68.
Thanks.
