Awesome. Thank you guys so much.

Sorry for the dp. I thought I could keep it in the 50-55 range with a jerry rigged closet, ice, fan, combination, and some careful monitoring, but I can't keep it below 60, so I guess I screwed the pooch on that one. No true lagering for me. Guess I'll hit some garage sales this weekend. If...
