Leaving wort overnight query

[shd]

Hi all,

Being a complete novice, I'm expecting my wort to either be over under in terms of required temperature for my first St Peters kit (18-20c)
Can anyone confirm if its a problem leaving the wort overnight in the house (covered of course !) for its temperature to stabilise before i add the hops and yeast, or is it ideal to try to get temperature as close as possible first time around and pitch at the same time ?

While you will probably be fine with this I should add that I have pitched at 22-23°C without issue in the past.

If you decide to leave it overnight make sure the lid is properly fitted and you fit an airlock.

I have pitched yeast at around 25 to 28c - no issue at all.

5-8c above the manufacturers suggested...really ?

Although pitching 5/8 degrees higher than manufacturers ideal, it will be dropping as the yeast awakes and I think they will have some leeway built into their specifications so as long as it is dropping and reaches viable temps before it kicks off big style it should be ok.
Ps not to be done unless it is unavoidable though

I think the manufacturers state a temp range that will work for sure though yeasts are natural products and have a relatively wide latitude as far as temp is concerned .... I normally prefer 18-20c but with doing all grain I generally stop cooling the wort at 28c, and using well known ale yeasts, has never been an issue.

Have a look at the Safale S-04 spec - use that yeast occasionally with kits, instead of supplied yeast: SafAle™ S-04

Works fine.

Klaus…thanks for your reply and mention of s04
Think I need to have a read up first
I think it’s a step too far for me currently but it would be interesting to do the same kit in the future but using s04 instead for a comparison
