The Role of Temperature in Fermentation
The major hindrance in the success of fermentation is improper temperature. To put this issue into perspective, you should know that a fermentation temperature set at 75 degrees will ferment more than twice as fast as a fermentation at 70 degrees. It is also important to note that a fermentation temperature of 65 degrees may ferment very, very slowly or worse, it will not ferment at all. Too warm of a fermentation temperature also invites micro-organisms to multiply faster which can eventually spoil the wine or alter the characteristic flavor, aroma and feel of wine. When in doubt about the fermentation temperature, you may consider investing in a wine thermometer that is designed to take fermentation readings.
