Cool to 62 degrees F, pitch yeast
Keep at 62F for first 24 hours of fermentation, then let temp raise to 65F, for next 24 hours.

Following that rest, allow to raise to 72F and let fermentation complete. Failure to start at the cooler temperature will result in an awsone Belgian style wit, but will not tast like Blue Moon, as the phenolics generated at warmer temperatures will not taste like the beer you know.
