I've made the horribly, painful decission to stop brewing for a while. I'm in the desert southwest, and I don't have temp control for fermenting. I've been using a swamp cooler, but now that temps are reaching the mid 90's I'm having trouble maintaining proper temps. Even with ice bottles, by the time I get home from work the temps are a few degrees higher than I would like. I'm going to save my pennies for a couple months so I can get a chest freezer and temp control. After I bottle my Irish Red, the buckets will remain dry
