Beer Temperature for 7 days after bottling

[Heffalump]

Hello people this is my first post here, I know nothing about making beer but I have a question.
I am making an Ale using one of these home brew kits with everything you need, all is going as per instructions I have just bottled the beer, however it says for the first week the brew should be kept at 25c- 30c?
Well I don't live in an OAP home now the weather has returned to normal I have no realistic way of achieving this, I have just stored it in an upstairs room about 21c.
Does anyone know the reason for this and will it turn out OK if I just leave it at room temp.

Thanks

It's to allow the beer to carbonate, did you add any sugar when bottling? 21C will be ok for this.

Welcome to The Forum!

Ditto the advice above plus "Be patient."

Hello thanks for replies,
Yes for the sugar I added 1 heaped teaspoon per 500ml.
All looks good, I used 7x 2ltr plastic screwtop bottles and these feel nicely pressurized this is now 2 days after bottling, the rest I have put in 500ml beer bottles from shop bought beer so I have been saving these up and used a bottling tool that I sealed them up straight after siphoning. What I notice even though I put a pair of tights over the funnel and I was really careful not to stir up the sediment with the siphoning pipe there is still a fine layer of sediment on the bottom of the bottles but I am sure it will add to the flavour.
So my plan is keep room temp then after a week will move it to outside shed where it will be much cooler I presume that will work.

Thanks all :)

Hi!
I would suggest a minimum of two weeks at room temperature. Follow the advice of @Dutto and be patient. Patience is one of the most important tool for the home brewer.
The fermentation inside the bottle will throw out more sediment, so don't worry if some got through during bottling.
Next time, try a bottling bucket - a FV with a tap fitted - and look up batch priming on t'Interweb.

Evening,

Just had a scan of using the bottling bucket now that would make things a great deal faster all the bottling with the sanitizing and other prep it probably took up the best part of 3 hours, but then its just a fun thing for now but I will certainly add a tap net time;
Anyway thanks very much for the feedback very much appreciated.
Cheers

A lot of members use a little bottler on their FV's i didn't want to drill mine so i added the cane part to my syphon tube and it does the same job.

id keep an eye on them bottles . 1 heaped spoon full in a 500ml bottle seems slightly high to me.

Very much so!!

I normally Batch Prime with 60g per 23 litre brew for beer. That's the equivalent of 2.5g to 3.0g per litre whereas ...

... a "heaped teaspoonful" is up to 5g which, in a 500ml bottle, gives +/-10g per litre!
