should i warm my wart, final stages of ferm.?

[ABunte]

hey ya'll!
Thanks in advanced for all the help

My first home brew is nearing its end and i heard a thing or two about warming my fermentor to help the yeast give its final go then about a day or two after raising the temp to then drop the temp down to the 40's to clear it. i live in the high mountains so I'm capable of easily getting it that cold.
opinions, thoughts, concerns?

I usually pull mine out of the swamp cooler after the initial high Krausen stage at day 4 and let it warm to room temps.

How long has it been in primary?
Cold crashing does help clarity.

Small corrections to your terminology for fun's sake.

Once yeast is pitched it is now called beer.
Wart is an ugly skin skin condition. Wort is infant beer.

Yep, after high krausen (3-5 days) I start ramping my temperature up 1f per day until I get to around ~68 and I left it finish out at that temp.

I still use the swamp method too, but after 4-5 days I stop adding frozen water bottles, and the water goes to room temp. This way I can keep the same water in the cooler, and just close the lid when I pull the bucket out.

my brew day was late at night on the 15th, so tonight(the 20th) will be a full day 5.
i have it fermenting in my room which is allowing it to be a steady 66-69 degrees

I add a little star san to the swamp cooler water just to keep any nasties out of there.

You are fine just like that. Let it ride for anothe 9 or so days and then start your FG checks.
