I live in a house with central heating, since it's too expensive for us to keep the thermostat above 60F, I keep the door to the bathroom closed which keeps the temp inside hovering around 70F. For sanitary purposes I keep my fermentor in a clean plastic tote. Only... try to imagine the combination of these two formidable forces: A morning after enchiladas and dark ale, wrestling with the sour sock smell of our beloved kombucha. It's a get in and get out must make move!
