Fermenting In A Bright Room

[LJvermonster]

Currently my beer is fermenting in a bright room but not in direct sunlight. Is this okay or should it really be in a dark space?

Cheers,

I think it depends on the bulbs. I believe some emit UV light which is bad. If you use buckets you probably have nothing to worry about.

Indirect sunlight could still be a problem.

Cover them up. I use the boxes my Better Bottles came in. Cut out the bottom and cut a hole for the airlock or blow off tube.

Nothing a towel can't fix.

Yep, a towel or two will do it. If you're really worried, cover it with aluminum foil.

Thanks guys. Towel it is!

I personally use tee shirts, they are shaped better, although the neck openings can be a bit large

I use old light weight zip up jackets. Easy to get on and off and add a little insulation when needed.

I just put a garbage bag over top of my carboys

I've used an old fleece pillowcase with a hole cut in it for the airlock

+1 to light weight zip up jackets there great to cold crash in the winter too!

This and I use two squeeze to open paper clips to hold the neck shut.
