Hey Don,
No expert I but...
I'd say use whatever you care to try, but write down exactly
what you use.
Over time you will get to know more about the differences in
taste and texture you can get with adjustments to the
temperature (and other variables as well).
With that, you'll be an expert!
All the best,
