Ferment vs Bottle Temperature

[nparcel]

I use an electric blanket to keep my fermentation at a 72-74F temp. Although when I transfer to bottles the blanket wont be a useful due to the akward shape of the boxes. Is it important to keep the beer at the fermentation temperature? Otherwise it will be sitting around 65-66F, and lower with the onset of winter.

Might have to move to Lagers if I could find a stable cold temperature in the basement.

If you don't keep your brew around 68f and keep it lower than it will take longer to carbonate.

Can you leave them somewhere warm for a few days, then move to the cooler area?
