What is the optimal temperature range for yeast fermentation?
The optimal temperature range for yeast fermentation is typically between 20°C to 30°C (68°F to 86°F).
True or False: Yeast activity decreases significantly below 10°C (50°F).
True
Fill in the blank: The temperature at which yeast begins to die is approximately _____°C.
60
Which temperature is considered too high for yeast to thrive, often leading to a halt in fermentation?
Above 35°C (95°F)
What is the effect of temperatures above 40°C (104°F) on yeast?
Temperatures above 40°C (104°F) can kill yeast cells and stop fermentation.
