WL065 will handle 82F. DADY will handle quite a bit more.

have not used bakers in about 4 years . im in deep south 2 big probs here temp and humidity 1 gives yeast hell and other breeds bacteria and some of the most rank wild yeast and the most persistent you can find.. from doing this a few years i found,, bakers would work but ,, i have to OD mash with bakers yeast to keep unwanted bs out.
