    How long to control temps

    I made the Northern Brewer Sierra Madre Pale Ale kit about 10 days ago. I used Wyeast 1056 (American Ale) and have been keeping it in the mid-low 60 degree range using a swamp cooler. I'd like to keep it on the yeast for 3-4 weeks. Do I need to maintain the temp for that entire period, or...
