With all the hot weather I was wondering about this: After primary fermentation is complete and the hydrometer reading is stable, and after racking to a secondary for settling and bulk ageing, does ambient temperature still need to be under 75 deg F for ales? If not, what is the acceptable temperature range after fermentation is complete?

Thanks.

But if most of the fermentation is done, won't it be okay? Or will it still produce the estery flavors in the conditioning stage? I was just wondering about this myself, cuz I don't have enough room in the chamber of homebrew love for two carboys.

Once the fermentation is done, you need to be concerned about oxidation & such. The flavor & aroma components in beer break down at warmer temperatures. Which is to say, they age much faster & not in a good way.
