Very hot summer brewing

Inside its roughly 72-77 degrees depending on where in the house. I looked online and am employing a towel-bath-fan technique to cool the carboy appropriately but this cant go on for 3 weeks to a month. Will it adversely affect my beer if I just use this technique for cooling during the primary fermentation and then when that is over removing them and allowing the temperature to rise to roughly72-75 degrees during a long primary and lagering stage or should I tough it out and keep it going for the duration before bottling? Also when I bottle will these higher temps negatively impact the quality of my beer during bottle conditioning?

Is this an ale or a lager?

I routinely stop keeping ales under 70F after the first week or so of fermentation. With lagers you need to be far more precise.

It's an ale. Imperial ipa to be precise.

Then I think there's no harm in letting it heat up after the bulk of fermentation is over.

i was wondering this as well. im in philadelphia and the last few days have been really hot. my first batch, an ipa, has been in a swamp cooler for over a week now and primary fermentation is definitely complete. however, if i take it out of the swamp cooler it will definitely go to around 80 degrees.
