Okay. I’ve recently gone all grain, but haven’t made a batch at home yet because I’m deciding on my set up and location.
I have almost all the tools. The one thing I’m still missing is a glycol chiller to control temps during fermentation.
I was just going to setup in my basement, but I can’t boil with my propane setup indoors. Just too much risk.
So, I was going to make my wort in the basement, then transfer to garage to boil. But then, I’d have to transfer to the fermentation vessel and back down to the basement for fermentation.
I’d prefer to do it all in one place. The garage to be exact.
As I mentioned, I’m currently gathering material to make my glycol chiller, so low temps will not be a problem. However, I live in PA and we get really cold winters, so I’m not sure how the cold air will affect my fermentation vessel. My FV is an anvil bucket. I have the cooling system that goes with it (which is why I'm making the glycol chiller), and I have the jacket for the vessel.
Here's my question....
How do you all ferment in your unheated garage in the winter months?
