Where should I age my beer.

I need a little advice. I have a couple of batches of beer in carboys. They have been in the secondary for 9 days now. I have to go away for work and will be gone for 4-5 weeks. My question is should I let them age in my basement which is 52-56 degrees or in my livingroom which is 66-70. Thanks for any thoughts or advice.

basement
66-70 seems too warm to me, unless for active fermentation

Basement, or coolest place possible above freezing.

You're too far away Tony. I did get to try a storm brewing red ale last week. There were 4 bottles left on the display shelf at the Stevanger dr store. Good beer!
