How long for temp control

[Brendandrage]

Hi all,
Just wondering how far into fermentation temp control is important, I have a temp controlled deep freeze that holds one fermenter at a time but would like to cycle through a few brews as I seem to have acquired many empty kegs over summer

Anyway I would normally ramp up my temp a little after 5 days and hold it for 2 weeks,,but I've been reading a bit and it would seem that temp control is only important for about 5 days and from thee it's only time (within reason)

So does anyone have experience to add to this?

Cheers
Brendan

Keep mine at 18-22C till krausen subsides (4-7 days depending on hydro reading), then leave at ambient which is usually high twenties to low thirties at this time of year here, for 2 days . Works for me . No off flavours that I can detect. Others will disagree.

I can't disagree as I haven't done it, but I use a fridge so mine sits at optimal temp for about 2 weeks.
