Good morning!
I wanted to know if during the fermentation in the bottle the temperature has a great impact on the production of esters, fusel alcohol or other off-flavors.
Specifically, my yeast (taken from local producers) has a range of 15-24 C°, fermented at 18°, I bottled it and kept for a week at 20° to speed up the consumption of 02 and the production of Co2. The yeast tab says it will produce esters above 18 °, but also during the brief refermentation in the bottles?
 
I'm not 100% sure but I'm guessing that you wont have much because the main fermentation has been completed already.
 
No, the tiny amount of fermentation for bottle carbonation will not create significant amounts of flavor.
Feel free to carbonate it in a warm location.

After carbonation, it's better to store the beer cold to prolong the shelf life.

Cheers
