Depends on your style. Check the yeast strain and find one that likes that temp range. I think wheats like it warm.

That's a little warmer than most ale yeasts would prefer (68° is pretty close to ideal for most). Remember, an active fermentation can generate additional heat beyond the ambient temperature. Simple swamp coolers may help if you find that the temp's running too high, or there are lots of designs for simple, cheap fermentation chillers.

Remember, there's no much that'll have a more-pronounced effect on your beer than maintaining fermentation temperatures properly.
