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.
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…
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.
