So I just did a partial mash ale recipe. Pitched the yeast around 70 degrees after using my wort chiller to get down to temp.
My question is where to ferment. We live in Memphis so the temps this week look pretty consistent with highs in mid 50s lows in low 40s. We keep our house in the upper 60s most generally. In the past I have carried my bucket to our master bath tub while it fermented and have not had problems. But I am wondering if for this time of year if the temps in our garage would be better? I am slightly worried about overnight but I figured I could put a blanket/towel around the bucket to try and keep the temp more consistent with the daytime temps.
Anyone see any advantages/disadvantages to either idea?
