Okay to store at 72F until bottling? Homebrewing


Okay, so I want to brew again this weekend. One small problem, my fermentation refrigerator is pretty full with other beers/cider that won't be bottled until at least next weekend. A Black Forest Stout on day #8 of secondary, a cider on day #27, and a blonde on day #6 of fermentation. The fridge has been kept on 62F to keep the active fermentation temp between 64F-67F (I take twice daily readings of the fermentation vessels). The house temp is about 72F (we're running unseasonably hot here still). I plan to toss a sheet over the two carboys to keep light out. I assume at this point active fermentation is over on all three vessels (no way to truly know without taking readings and I would rather not have to open until bottling time but bubbling is all but stopped on two and the blonde is real slow). So, would it be fine to move these out of the fridge to make room for new stuff?
