It will ferment at those temps. I fermented my berliner weisse at 78. It shot off like crazy. Still, I am not sure what the difference in lactic acid production is between fermenting at 75-80 and fermenting at 100+.

careful, a week might be too long. most folks seem to go 24-72 hours. a week could make it too sour. sacch doesn't do well below a pH of 3.5, brett peters out around 3.1... so there is such a thing as too sour (assuming you want to pitch yeast at some point to complete fermentation).
