I'd like some advice on brewing temps if possible. At this stage I don't have access to temp control, so all my brewing is at room temperature, although I can warm it with a heat belt in winter.
My question is, what's the highest room temperature I can get away with pressure fermenting an ale? I'm aware of the pitfalls of brewing in hot weather, and I think I've paid the price with a couple of brews, and I don't want to repeat the process!
I'll be using Wyeast 1968.
TIA.
 
Pressure fermenting will allow you to ferment at much higher temperatures than you would normally attempt, I would think that 1968 under pressure will perform well up to near 30°.
 
I've got the same issue except I can't pressure ferment. I've had good results though with Voss Kveik yeast, it actually likes 33-35deg

Yes, Voss Kveik is a great option for warm fermenting but be aware that the citrus flavor in this strain is stronger at high temperatures. At room temperature or slightly above it's pretty neutral.
