Iv got my nut brown ale goin in the primary and it seems to be cookin nicely, got about an inch and a half of foam, my temp has gone up to 75 F when it was originally 71 is this a big deal for nut brown ale?
thanks

My understanding is that ales are quite forgiving in regards to temperature. Generally, 64-74 degrees F is an ideal temp. for ales, as a rule of thumb.

Lagers, I assume, are much more sensitive to temperature changes.

It shouldn't be too bad, but getting the temp back down to 71 wouldn't be a bad thing. If you're using glass, get it in a water bath or put a wet t-shirt over the carboy. If you're using plastic and really desperate, look up my Redneck Ingenuity thread here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=13358
