I'm fermenting a saison at home right now. The white labs yeast strain (WLP400) I'm using has a 68-72 degree optimal range and recommends making sure the temperature stays above 70 degrees for the start. While the room temperature was only 72 degrees, the bottle temp has been 77 to 79. I brought the room temp down to 68, but the bottle remains at 78 degrees. I actually thought a higher temp would be good for a belgian brew, so I'm not too concerned...should I be?

Thanks for the help!
 
sorry, that was vague. yes, carboy. very active fermentation is taking place and i assume that is why there is a 78 degree temp in the carboy. it seems to be stuck at that temp regardless of the room temperature, which has been 68-72 while the carboy remains at 78.
