Controlling Temperature after fermentation is completed

[pedroims]

I am brewing my second batch, a dunkelweisen, I am using a cooler, water, ice and a towel to ''control'' the temperature, so far it is working fine, has been fermenting for one week so soon fermentation will be completed, my question is: Should I keep controlling the temperature even after fermentation, has been on 68-69 since the fermentation started, my plan is to move it to room temperature: 72-73 so I can use the cooler to brew my third batch. Any issue I should know before doing this?

Not really.....the important part is the first 4-5 days of fermentation. Yeast will produce off flavors at high temps during active fermentation. Not so much when things aren't so vigorous. After fermentation is complete, you are fine putting it at room temp as long as it isn't like 80-85+.
