My first batch is fermenting and I've just realized I picked a bad spot. The only place i had to put it was in a corner behind a recliner. I've wrapped it in a shirt and then a light but dark blanket to try to protect it from light. I was afraid that it being near and external wall would be too cold at times, but after going back there to check on it, the opposite may be a problem. I don't know how I didn't realize there was a vent back there. It's not right next to it, but it's close and it's warm back there. I'm afraid the blankets might be trapping some heat too. The fermometer on my carboy says 72-74 degrees. Not only is it a little high, but the temperature probably fluctuates a lot. Sigh... Shoulld i replace the airlock with plastic wrap and try to move it? Any suggestions?
