Pitched a belgian wyeast 3522 in 1.092 wort, have never used this yeast before. This was Sunday.
I usually use 1056 because my basement is a steady 66 degrees.
The temperature range for 3522 is 66 to 76, so I put my carboy heat wrap on and it went up to 78+, took it off now back to 66.
My thought was to just partially put it on and hopefully get it in the low 70s.
The heat wrap is good for a 5 to 20 degree rise.
My question is: should I just leave it at 66 or should I keep trying to raise it some as I have been doing.
It's probably not good to have a constant temp. change, just seeing what you guys would do.
