widest temperature range of any kit beer
Outdoor temperatures drop to -60F, I live in a small cabin. It is too time consuming to try to keep cabin between 70&80F. Beer is 8$ for hogwash here so kits are the way to go. A wide ranging temp yeast compatible with a kit might work.
I'd suggest wrapping your fermenter in a wet towel and putting a fan blowing on it. that should help cool it down some. as far as the yeast goes, try Cooper's ale yeast, as I believe it can handle warm temps as well as any.
Keep in mind that a constant fermentation temperature is just as important as the "right" temperature. If your fermentor is going to be subject to large swings in temperature during the day then it doesn't really matter what yeast you use. Most brewing yeast won't perform well if the temp is going up and down during those first 3-7 days.
Solve that problem then you can figure out which yeast strain and beer style best fit the conditions you can create.
