Howdy all. I've been brewing for almost two years now. After listening to me talk about brewing for almost as long, I got my buddy who lives near Tampa/St. Pete to start brewing. He's about to bottle his first batch and is worried about the temperature being too high (upper 70's) to bottle condition correctly. He built an awesome temperature controlled fermentation chamber and thinks conditioning that high is too high. I agree to a point, but thought that most off-flavors are caused during the first four days of fermentation and that three days a little warm should only speed up the final push by the yeast to carb it up. If you have any hints or anecdotes that I could pass on, I'd really appreciate them. I work at a home brew store out here in CO, but don't really have this as an issue where I live. Thanks
