Well, I'm starting to deal with home brewing issues here in North Dakota that I never dealt with in Florida. My unfinished home brewery has been hovering around 60-62 degrees. I made a porter this weekend that needs to ferment around 67 degrees. So, I took out our never used sleeping bag and wrapped the bucket. I also added some old sheets and some old towels in hopes that this will help keep the temp around the fermenter where it needs to be. I'm hoping that with the heat given off during fermentation and with the sleeping bag etc. wrapped around the fermenter I should be fine?
I don't think we're at the point yet where we can justify turning on the heat. Its actually quite nice in the house with some long pj's and some slippers. My thoughts are that the heat will be on soon enough and for long enough that I should hold out on turning it on as long as possible and I can't justify turning it on simply to heat a room for homebrewing, especially when the temp is so close to where it needs to be.
