assuming it's bakers yeast, i pitch anywhere between 30-35C without problem.
the ferment will create its own heat usually, and mine have gone to 35-36C in the first couple of days, seemingly without any problem.
i have the heatband (via an inkbird) set to 30C minimum and the fridge to kick in at 37C.
it usually stops creating as much heat after a few days.
TBH i don't know what the max temp of my Lowans yeast is, it's hard to find any specs.

Rum has always been the most violent active ferments i have done. You will definitely get shit everywhere if you don't have enough headspace. Wife was not impressed :laughing-rolling:

You talking about 10L backset ?
Did you add new molasses or sugar with it ?
This is gen 2 correct ? Each gen it will be less aggressive than the gen prior.
Are you sure its not active, the air lock is not always a good indication, particularly if the fermenter isnt sealed properly.
If you pitched new yeast, it wont hurt it.
