Bottle Conditioning Temps

[Aggie_JD]

I've read that after bottling it's ideal to store your beer at around 70 or so for carbonating and then conditioning. It's summer here in Texas I don't cool my house while I'm at work, and inside it gets to be around 80 degrees. Will storage at those temps negatively affect the tast and/or carbonation of my beers?

If so, does anyone have any practical solutions for cooler storage? Thanks.

I doubt it'll be that big of a deal. Biggest temp concerns are the first few days after pitching. Different story for lagers, but I digress. Warmer temps may get the yeast excited and carb it a little faster, but I'd still wait the three weeks. Keep 'em as cool as you can. Could lay a wet towel over them with a fan if you were real worried. But a dark room should do just as well.
