Fermentation temperature

[Mapleleaf]

The instructions in my kit indicate that the temperature must be between 20 and 25 deg celcius. How important is that? The temperature in my house varies from 18 to 23 depending on whether the heat is on or not. Would that cause fermentation problems?

no. if a white wine it will benefit the cooler temps. fermentation may take a bit longer but your temps are ok.

Probably will be more of an issue when degassing, Cooler liquids hold on to CO2 more than warmer liquids.

Thanks for the responses. I won't worry much about the temperature then.
