Too warm to have added yeast?

My house fluctuates between about 10 and 80°F, depending on the weather and which room you’re in. All you guys with central heat can eat it. :wink:

Central heat??  What’s that???  I’ve got one baseboard in the living room and a woodstove.  No heat in the rest of the house.

Do you make trips to the outhouse too? ;D

And haul water up from the crick?  :smiley:

Yeah, but they have to walk uphill both ways, barefoot :wink:

We must have married sisters ;D

Hey! >:( Your wife is not the sister always calling wanting to borrow money is it? >:( >:(

May have to when we remodel the one bathroom we’ve got!

The good ole’ simple life…simpler is better. :slight_smile:

Up to a point!  At least I’m consistent about carrying Cheap’n’Easy over to my life.

Hey Denny…how does it feel to be AHA headlines with your pic and all. It’s guys like you that make this great hobby so much better. Congrats!

Sorry for the thread hijack.

I just wanted to mention that my cellar is running between 59-60F right now. I brewed an ESB on Sunday using WLP002 and pitched it at 59F. It’s aggressively fermenting in basement at 60F as I type. The point being…cellar temps are fairly ideal for fermenting ales.

Uhhh . . . it’s going to brewing gear, so that’s ok, right?

Not my cellar in the winter.  Lager season!

Geothermal ground temp is about 56F which is a little too cold for most ales but I have alot of luck at 60F in my cellar.  :slight_smile:

majorvices lagers in his living room!    :smiley:

Like one takes apart a Harley in the kitchen. I tried to put a fermenter in the dining room (which we, of course, never use…) That didn’t go over too well… “What if it explodes?” She knows too much…

I’m home today and running the oven on “clean cycle” - even with the doors open the house is up to 66… figured you guys would be proud.

Thats what I’m sayin!

Don’t know how old you guys all are… but at some point the thermostat in the wife is going to go apeshid. Whether she was always chilly or not before, she will go from bathing in sweat in January in a cold house to chilled to the bone in a July heatwave…

There is NO WAY to mechanically deal with this even if you wanted to…

It goes away eventually, but in the meantime…strap in.

Yeah, you right.  We’re there…

70f in winter - wife freezing, “please turn the heat on”!

70f in summer - wife dying a slow death, “please turn the air on”!
