I'm bottling this weekend and wanted to get a little advice if you have it. First off, it's been several years since I've done this and current bottling environment is a bit "sensitive" (read as: Hey! Watch that mess you're making!!". I have an infant at home, so the temp in the house is a balmy 73F, I've been trying to keep my fermenter cool with damp shirts and making sure no extraneous lights are on and have been somewhat successful. But when I bottle and store the beer, it will be located in rubbermaid containers in a warmer (73-75F) albeit dark location. What should I expect?
 
you will be fine. Many breweries "warm condition" their bottled beer, it will carb up nice and fast, It might not keep as long if you store it that warm long term, but on the short term, your beer should suffer no Ill effects.

As it stands...it has a distinct, though not so unpleasant, astringent after taste. Think that will mellow out some in the bottles at that temp? Thanks for the input.
