hi, i live in chicago in a poorly insulated apartment.
as we start getting into warmer weather, i pretty much have to stop brewing because there is nowhere in my building that maintains a cool temp.
i have an ipa that's two days into primary that's been creeping up from 65 to 70...and it's leaning towards 72. it's killing me to see this.
i have an ice pack that i just sorta leaned up against the carboy...but that just seems silly...and isn't doing anything.
does anybody have any advice?
i would assume i need some sort of bucket or whatever, and put some water and ice in there to keep it cool...and put the carboy in there?
does that work?
what do you guys do?
