I like reading about beer and planning my next batch, and I like drinking the finished beer. Everything in between just seems like work.

I make starters at room temp all the time; it will be fine. IPA will be fine too since main fermentation is over and it's just clearing now. RDWHAHB.

Thanks everyone. It seems prudent to at least replace the glass with plywood. I would like to keep the drawers if I can, but I'll take them out and add support legs if it seems necessary. Better safe...

Here's my equipment profile. I boil in a 15-gallon pot, which accounts for the large evaporation rate. I estimated the lauter tun deadspace by putting in some water, draining until it wouldn't drain...

I lose about 10 degrees in the summer, 15 in the winter since I brew outside. BeerSmith gives me pretty accurate numbers for strike temp, but I've learned to add 3-4 degrees to the strike temp in the...

I'm calling it an Amber IPA, but it's really just an odds 'n' ends brew to use up some stuff I had lying around.

All settled in the cooler, where it will stay for at least 3 weeks at 65 degrees.

After 3-4 weeks, I'll rack to a secondary and allow it to clear further for a week or two before kegging.

Final cool down. I start by running tap water through the chiller, then switch to recirculated ice water to get down to pitching temp.

Thanks for the replies. I will move the wine to the cooler. I can't raise the temp in there right now because of my beer fermentation schedule, but it sounds like it won't be a problem. :)
