I let the beer ferment for at least 18 days in a small bathroom (having a south-facing exterior wall) that is cooled by my central A/C. My limit is 20 days. During those 18 to 20 days, I'll have my A/C set to 72 degrees the entire time. There is a stick-on thermometer on the fermentation vessel, so I will be able to monitor the temperature while I am home. I do overnight trips that usually have me away from home one night per week, and two daylight runs that have me leaving home around noon and getting back around midnight. It hasn't begun to get really hot in the Reno area, but it's coming...
