Will temperature fluctuations negatively affect Brett like the do Sacc fermentations? My apartment gets rather hot in the day (now 80+F) and cools off a bit at night. If needed, I could move the beer to the basement where the temp usually stays 70F-72F. Thoughts?

Background: I brewed an all-grain dark saison with Wyeast 3724 in the primary. In the secondary, I added Brett B and C.

Thanks!

Not sure about the effects of the fluctuation but I would move it to your basement regardless.

I don't think you want wild temperature changes but a little fluctuation seems fine for brett. I never temp control past primary for sour or brett beers just keep them in the basement.

Thanks, I'll move it downstairs.
