Damn good idea ... keep fermenter in bathtub ... i like it

i'm listening to you all, i will get the k1v-1116 before i start, but i dont think temp will be an issue for a month or so? that it will be in primary will rack off to five 1 gallon jugs when time comes. Back to the nutrients question ... will DAP be sufficient, starting with a bit of grape...

Ok will the k1v-1116 take the higher temps well? i am a cheap bastard and dont use a/c unless its over 100 lol. i have read somewhere on the net that yeasts do best at 90F which seems odd, the strain i'm using now prefers the cooler temps hehe its like 36F here right now and cinnamon/ginger is...

I chose ec-1118 because of its temperature tolerances, here in utah lol its snowing right now. In a month it will be in the 90's here and over 100 soon. K1V-1116 was second choice but Northern Brewer does not stock it, i couldn't find it on their website.
