I have a porter that has been sitting in secondary for just under 30 days. I plan on kegging tomorrow. Today I noticed that the temp in the fridge got to 76F and is set to be at 70 (forgot to replace frozen jug). I'm guessing it has been that way for 1-2 days. What should I expect, if anything? Thank you
 
Expect nothing different. The yeast won't be affected at this point. If you are using priming sugar for some reason then there could be less CO2 in solution and you may need to up it a bit (assuming your ferm temps were lower than 76), but it was such a small swing I would pretend it didn't even happen.
 
Should be fine. I have had Primary get that high with no bad results (ales). Secondary, I wouldn't even sweat it.
