I have my first batch fermenting away (brewed on Sunday) sitting in my laundry room at about 71-72 degrees. SWMBO isn't too keen about it being in that room. I fully understand, it is a small room and is kind of in the way. Plus, it is putting off that fermenting smell. My question is, after it is done fermenting, is it alright to move the fermentor to the basement where the temperature is 59-64? This is about a 10 degree swing. I wasn't sure if this was going to negatively affect the beer since it is mostly going to be conditioning/clarifying at that point. It is a Irish red ale, if that makes any difference. Thanks in advance for all your help!
