Hey all,
I am brand new to the home brew scene. This is my first post. Got a Mr. Beer kit for Christmas thanks to my awesome wife and began fermenting the West Coast Pale Ale that Mr. Beer sells last Sunday. I doubled the HME and yeast but used only one booster. Was going to wait two weeks to bottle but after reading several posts here I've decided to wait three weeks.
Right now I have the fermenting keg in my bedroom closet, but eventually I would like to upgrade to a larger setup using buckets and a carboy. Space in my house is at a premium, so that sort of setup would have to be out in my shed which is not air-conditioned. My question is would the hot Florida weather (often in excess of 90 degrees in the Summer) be a prohibitive fermenting/conditioning environment?
Thanks in advance, and also for the wealth of knowledge this forum has provided this newb!
