Fermentation temp question

[evilfishtank]

I live in the deep south and it is still very hot everyday. I am fermenting my very 1st all grain brew in my chest freezer at 67degrees. Doing a pumpkin ale using Wyeast 1056.

I would love to get another batch going, but I can only fit one bucket in my chest freezer. I know it is very important to maintain this temp during fermentation.

My question is:

After 7 days and fermentation has been completed, would I be ok letting it sit in my house in a closet (72-76 degrees) for the remainder of the time?

Look at the optimum temp range that came with your yeast... If its in the range it's ok... Can you say "swamp cooler"?

It may be OK, but it might also not be optimal either (E.g. it may be fruitier than preferred.).

Sounds like the easiest answer is just let it sit. I have read about using swamp coolers but that requires more work than just letting it sit. I am a not do anything more than is required kind of guy.

Also the Wyeast 1056 says 60-72. I just didnt know if higher temps would affect it since the fermentation was already finished.

IMO if you verify FG then you can remove the beer from the chamber and let it sit in the coolest space you have. Putting it in a swamp cooler would prevent any wild temperature fluctuations while you condition the beer prior to packaging.
