Thank you for the input, everybody! Much appreciated! Happy Brewing and Happy Holidays!

I overlooked that one! Thank you, Yooper. Next I need to convince the girlfriend who lives with me that a bath of water and having the carboys upstairs is a good idea... Challenge accepted. Thanks again!

Thank you for the input, sir. Much appreciated. I definitely didn't rule this option out yet. My only concern is the difference in temp during the day and at night. My thermostat is set up to cool down to 60 during the day when I am at work, go up to 67 before I get home, down to 62 at night...

Another question from me as well... For the Gents who are using a water bath and an aquarium heater, how much water do you put in the bath? Is the bath large enough to have water filled to where the beer line is on the carboy, maybe to the half way point of the carboy, etc? Obviously you don't...
