I've read several threads on this topic and am still confused on one aspect. I understand the bath is crucial the first week or so to keep the temp down during the bulk of fermentation but once that is done and I am racking for extended secondary for a RIS, do I need to keep it in the water bath or at that point is a cool basement room ok? I plan on an extended secondary of several months. Most fermentation will take place in primary. My understanding is that is the period of time I need the bath cooling the beer. Any input appreciated.
