States that this yeast can be used between 64F (17.8C) and 74F (23.3C).
Now 74 seems a little high to me. I've only used it a couple of times at
61F (well the thermometer in the fridge was reading that, so I guess the
fermenting wort was a little warmer).
So for the folks who have used it more than I - do you happily use it at
74F? What is the resultant beer like compared to using it at say 64F?
I'm planning a kit/extract/ speciality grain APA style soon - (but of
course it won't be pale being kit + extract based) - but loaded with
northern brewer and cascade.
cheers

I use Safale US-56 all the time with temps between 64F-72F. No problems
whatsoever.

I use it down at 15C ambient. The beer is nice and clean, letting the
hops shine through.
US56 is a big attenuator though, every time I've used it I pitch 2
sachets and it ALWAYS takes it down to 1.008 no matter what the OG or
dextrinous malts.

I have seen this for grists mashed below 152F. I suspect higher temps will
raise your OG.

I too have been using it rather COOL... I pitch and ferment at 60 with
no ill effects. The fermentation is just a couple days longer but oh
so clean.

It can be used down into the 50s, although that cold it will produce
some diacetyl, at least in my experience. 60-64 is fine. The 50s are
fine, but you should give it longer in the primary to get rid of the
diacetyl.

I have found the stick on thermometer on my beer indicating a temperature of
72F with this yeast and the final beer tasted just fine. It might get a
little more estery if you let it ferment at 74 ... perhaps.
I generally like to keep the fermentation temperature between 65F and 69F for
this yeast personally, but as I said, I have had good results outside this
range.

Up in the 70's it gets a bit estery which is fine if you are going for
a British ale. If you are going for an ale as close as a light lager
as you can, you need to stay in the lower 60's.
