For the homebrew scale, I really don't think fermentation temps are that big of a deal within reason. The brewers I know who keep their house somewhere between 66 and 74 produce great tasting beer that places well in competitions regularly. More specifically, I don't think fermentation at room temps vs exactly a certain temp makes the difference between a great beer and a dumper. Just a good and a great beer.
Sure, if you ferment at 50 or 90 you might have some issues. But hell, I had a fermentation chamber fail on me and a lager ferment at 76 and it came out pretty well. It's a little fruity, but certainly drinkable. So, what do you think?
