Acceptable Brewing Temps... - LUE42 - 05-18-2010
My house is generally too cold to brew so I've put together a little brewing box but the box is holding at a steady 88 degrees. The instructions call for 75- 80. Will that extra eight be too much or slow the rate at all?

Not at all, I have multiple bottles on my patio & I live in Florida. Right now the average temperature outside is about 90 degrees during the day, & I already have some fairly good stuff after only 4 days! Just try not to let it get rediculously hot, like above 95 degrees (the tolerance might be higher but just to be safe) and you should be fine.

The yeast is rated to 104 degrees so in theory you should be OK to about 100 (the yeast generates it's own heat so the beverage will be warmer than the ambient temperature) unless you get runaway fermentation.
