I have a closet that stays at ~68-70 year round. This is usually sufficient for fermenting my ales, however lately I have had several batches that reached up to 78 degrees despite the 70 degree ambient temperature. I have a fridge however it's always full of lager, and getting another fridge is not an option.
I was considering getting some sort of container that is slightly larger than a 6.5gal carboy and using a water bath (bathtub not an option), however I don't know of any common,cheap containers that I could get. Any other suggestion on controlling temperature for ale fermentations without buying another fridge?
