I have just gone to the clearing/stabilizing/aging stage on my WE Nebbiolo Kit. The instructions say the temperature should be between 68 and 77 throughout the entire process.
I had though that, once fermentation was done, that lower temperatures were preferrable. Am I mistaken in that? I understand that higher temperatures speed up the aging process, but should the temperatures be up in the mid-70's? My garage right now has been running from about 64 to 68, sometimes up to 70. I had the fermenter in the laundry room (75 degrees) during fermentation, but moved it to the garage once that was finished.
