Running out if room in chamber

[rmolledo]

I was curious if it is imperative to keep an ale in the fermentation chamber at 66F (where i keep it) all throughout primary and secondary. Im wanting to brew an IPA this weekend but have a pale ale that will by that time be in the chamber for 5 days. Will it make a very noticeable difference if I remove it from the chamber and bring into a closet around 75F for the rest of the time?

I would say no. From what I've read, most of the danger regarding fermentation temp is in the first few days. Ramping the temp up after 5 days would be a good d-rest anyway and help full attenuation.

Gosh no. 4 or 5 days in a temperature controlled chamber is all it needs. http://www.brewgeeks.com/the-life-cycle-of-yeast.html

5 days is good,I will warn, however, if you dry hop at higher temp, you are more likely to pull out more grassy and even spicy(sharp) flavors.

hmmm...all the reading I have seen says that dry hopping cold extracts grassy flavors.

Yeah, if adding hops warmer got you those flavors wouldn't you get them from boil, FO, and whirlpool hops? Doesn't make any sense.

Just my experience. Did a few kveik batches that got dry hopped in the 75-80 range. All 3 batches came out with a lot of hop sharpness. That was the only change to my process on those batches, so thats where i assumed the issue was. May have to reevaluate that thinking.
