I brewed up a Wee Heavy two weeks ago (OG 1.072) and pitched a healthy starter of WLP028. I've been keeping my swamp cooler in the high 50's the entire time. This is based on advice I read somewhere regarding this yeast.
Two weeks later, and it is still swirling, still bubbling the airlock. The kraeusen has subsided a bit, but is still there. Since my intention was to ferment slowly, I guess this is a good result so far. So I'm looking forward to - I dunno, several more weeks of low and slow.
Anybody else with experience with this yeast at these temps?
