Tip - All Fermentation should include Temperature

A reminder to all, including myself.

Whenever fermentation of any kind is discussed it is important to include the temperature. If room temperature (RT) is used, please give us a estimate of that temp.

If the temperature is not mentioned, the duration of a ferment, whether starters, Bulk Ferments, or Final Proofs, the post lacks enough information to properly inform the reader.

Example -
A 2hr BF @80F, may take 4hr @ 74-75F. When it comes to bread baking, temperature is as important as any other thing involved in the process.
