BPT's beer will not be ruined. Its ester profile is set--an increase in
temperature will not harm it.

I have. I recommend at a minimum increasing the temperature a few degrees
to ensure that the saison doesn't get damped down. You'll ignore this as
you do everything else I recommend, but you're the one who congratulated
Rachel on her willingness to experiment. Keeping the temperature down will
minimize that experiment.

Please do.
