I picked up this hobby over the summer...started in my garage. Living in Oregon, we are starting to hit freezing temps at night (but high 60s during the day).
I have decided to leave one 5 gallon carboy (waiting to clear) in the garage, hoping the temp changes at night will aid clearing.
I started a new batch in my fermenting bucket ~2 weeks ago, and brought this inside last night (70 deg F inside) to prevent stunting fermentation.
Is this the right thing to do? If so, should I move the fermenting bucket back to the garage once fermentation is complete? Would it be safer to keep it in the plastic bucket vs a glass carboy due to temps in the teens and 20s over the winter?
Any advice?
