Hi guys,
I am going to give my Coopers DIY kit a go on Christmas day. I decided to ditch the Coopers yeast and i bought some US05 and will also use a Brewcrafts German Lager beer enhancer instead of the Coopers beer enhancer.
The outside temps are quite high at the moment (35-39 deg), but on tuesday the will drop to about 25degs, with a minimum of 15 degrees.
I have a cellar that sits at around 21-24 degrees, but it will be interesting to see how warm it gets on a 39 deg day.
I am trying to get the cellar and fermeter as cool as possible and was wondering if you had any tips?
I heard putting buckets of cold water could help?
I also thought of putting a few damp towel in my freezer, then once slightly frozen, placing them over the fermenter (and doing this every 6-8 hours). Would this help?
Would like to hear any other natural ways of lowering the temp of the cellar / fermenter.
Please note, at this stage, i cannot get an old fridge.
Regards,
Robbie
