Keeping Cool

Ok, quick question.

I currently live in las Vegas and as you may know it gets really warm here. I have a yorkshire bitter in primary for about five days now. I am leaving out of state for the next two days and cannot run the air condition the while time i am gone. The temp doesnt get any hotter than 82/F inside while there is no air conditioning. Any ideas on how i can keep the fermenting brew cool?

I was thinking maybe cool water in the bathtub and let it just sit in that while I am gone?

Combine that with a wet towel wrapped around it and some airflow and you'll have a swamp cooler. Lots of threads on the nuances - this guy took the bath tub approach too.

Bathtub would work. Also, drape a t-shirt over the jug, which will wick up water and provide cooling through evaporation.

Also, after five days your active fermentation is probably over, so a brief temperature spike won't really have too much of a bad effect. So, don't worry!

Thanks, I figured the bath tub would be best.

Maybe throw a fan into the mix.

I wouldn't worry too much five days in. any off flavors you encounter from fermentation temps usually come from the first few days of fermentation....In my experience
