</div>Read. What. I. Wrote.<br>
<br>
It is at the correct temperature.<br>
<br>
Also, beer *can* be ruined at the end. Bpt's beer still has a 3" krausen<br>
so the yeast are very much active; a significant temperature shift (I<br>
think 12 degrees in a 36 hour period counts) can lead to stressed yeast<br>
and solventy/metallic off-flavors being formed.<br>
<br>
When given the option between risking ruining a beer that is close to<br>
completion and the Saison having an acceptable but perhaps less funky<br>
phenol profile... it's at 71F anyway.<br>

I don't think that one degree every three hours is going to stress the yeast at this end of fermentation, but it boils down to your judgment versus mine. I've dealt with my share of krausens, so I'm not talking out of my ass. But you're the one in control of the regulator.<br>
<br>Since I have no say in the matter, I'll end the discussion here and be content that both beers will be fine.<br><br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
