Ahh spring, the time of year when you leave for work, and it's 40 degrees outside and your inside temp is 60....and when you come home it is 80 outside and you can fry and egg on TOP of your fridge...the time of year we homebrewer's with West facing windows, just love.
If you do a search for temp contol or swamp coolers you will see some off the ingenious ways we've come up with...mine's not too ingenuis, it's just a rubbermade bin that can hold 2 5 gallon buckets, or any other combination...plus t-shirts to work as water wicks.
It can work in several combinations of fermenters.
I figured out with the 3 gallon square sided betterbottles I could get between 6 and 8 of those bad boys in there.
I've gotten down to about 57 in the heat of summer with that setup.
But don't count that beer out, even if it doesn't taste good after 3 weeks in the bottle, read what happened to my last year's "Spring heatwave" beer.
