Hi folks,
I'm using Belle Saison from Danstar for the first time and have a question about temperature. I have a small room with an electric heater for temp control and am fermenting in plastic buckets. My temperature readings are from a thermometer sticker on the side of the bucket. Once it got going it was around 73F, then after 48hrs I turned the temp in the room up, and it's now sitting at 81F. Should I leave it this warm for the rest of the entire fermentation period (est ~3 weeks) or just the primary fermentation (est 3-6 days)? The room also keeps my carbonating and waiting-to-go-in-the-fridge beers, not sure what effect the higher room temps will have on those.
Thanks for any ideas,
Marc
