Fermentis Recipes

I just noticed Fermentis have a recipe suggestion section on their website and the IPA recipe suggestion which features their US-05 yeast recommends starting the fermentation at 12°C.

Since their tech sheet suggests ideal temp 15-22°C how does the recipe suggest we use their yeast do you think? Also since the rehydration temp suggested is 27°C there's quite a few temperatures there and thermal shock to consider, or isn't there?

It appears that anyone can submit a recipe which calls for Fermentis yeast, and they'll publish it on their site. So the recipe temperature doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the manufacturer's recommendations.

That said, 12°C is awfully low isn't it. I know that some breweries use a version of this Chico/American Ale/Sierra Nevada strain for every single beer they make, and that when fermented cool they can even produce a fairly convincing "lager." But I'm with you, maybe that's a typo.

That stout recipe is interesting too, huh? 13% chocolate malt and S-33 yeast...hmmm.

The site has a temperature chart, 12C is the lager start temperature.

I bet Nottingham can ferment at 12c, especially on commercial scale.

So could Saflager. What's that got to do with US05?
