Re: All grain wash question
Depends on what temp your yeast requires. should be written on the yeast package. It's usually around 20 to 30 deg C, but you can go a bit above or below. Just make sure not too cold or your ferment won't start or will stall.

Re: All grain wash question
Depends on the yeast strain, most yeasts will say on the packaging what the operating temperature is for best results. Bread yeast likes higher temps but beer and wine yeast like it a little lower. Also, in some yeasts higher temps can create off flavors so depending on what yeast you have the temps can still have a good ferment but give interesting and sometimes unwated results.
