bottle conditioning
ok, I know that if you put your bottles in a really warm place, like 80 degrees, it will carbonate quickly. I was wondering if this will have any effect on the taste or quality of the beer?
It has never bothered my beer. I put my bottles up on the top shelf where it is the warmest. They usually cab up in a week or so. No ill effects on the taste, after a week-ish i usually bring them down to floor level after that though.

It'll be fine though I wouldn't place my bottles in an environment warmer than 80 degrees nor would I keep them at 80 for an extended period of time. My rule of thumb is 3 weeks at 70F.
They'll certainly carbonate faster, but they'll also age faster.
Beer is a perishable product, and if you have a beer that isn't necessarily designed to age well, you'll move through freshness rather quickly.
You also want to make sure they are in the dark or it could get skunky. I also put mine up high to help them stay warm.

Does the fermentation trap sell something that keeps your bottles warm and dark too?
Yes they do! As a matter of fact. My stomach is guaranteed to keep your beer warm and in the dark. Well in the dark for about a hour anyway. It will be warm when it comes out. All you need to do is ship your beer to me and I will take care of the warm and dark and even do it for free. So CHEERS!! and send me your beer. You asked and I deliver.
nice BM nice.

It depends on the type of yeast you pitched to ferment your beer with, most Ale yeasts are efficient in the 68-76F range while Lager yeasts operate in the 50-65F temperature range.
Think of it in terms of the Ale yeast introducing more fruity, flowery or spicy esters into your beer when carbonating at the higher end of the temperature range.
