I am totally new to this whole brewing thing! I bought a nice kit this passed weekend with a glass carboy and so forth. I will be brewing a nice Nut Brown Ale from a kit for my first attempt. My question is though, I know the desired temp for fermentation should be around 68, I live in the northern suburbs of GA where the temps are currently in the low 80's. I don't have a basement, so I would either need to store my carboy in the garage or a closet in the house. But my concern is in either place, won't the temps vary greatly depending on the time of day? We do have the windows open currently with the air off since it has been nice and cool in the evenings. Any help would be great!! I was thinking about getting a 55 gallon drum to store my carboy in for fermentation and place it in the garage, but not sure if the temp would still be very consistent. HELP!!! THANKS
