Aging temperature

[bushpilot]

I have 3 1-gallon batches (2 melomels, 1 traditional) aging in carboys on oak with airlocks. I have two choices of rooms to age in. The colder room fluctuates between about 40-45 degrees, the warmer room around 60-65 degrees. Right now they are in the colder room.

Where would you keep them given that choice?

Colder is generally better.

Most say to store/age at 55F, give or take a few degrees (45-65). Warmer will speed up the oxidation/aging, cooler will keep it “fresher” longer.
But in your case, as your tying to oak them, the warmer room is better. The warmer temp also helps with degassing. Once your done oaking, the cooler room might be better. But your good either way.
