Hello from SE, Texas

[Thomas Metreyeon II]

Hello all i just started out brewing after researching and watching videos and reading books, i said what the hell i am going straight to all grain brewing, i am just finishing drinking the last few beers off my first brew which was a Peanut Butter Cup Stout, i know i am crazy for doing this for my first brew, but it turned out spectacular and all my buddies loved it so i am happy about that, but now on to new things i have a lot of questions that i am about to pester everyone with. Oh i have a 5 gallon setup atm. I need to figure out something to use as a fermentation chamber as here in SE Texas its hot as hell and leaving in a closet just doesn't work.

Treat me well.

Welcome to the group, from Minnesota!

Until you decide on a ferm chamber, you can set up a "swamp cooler." Put the fermenter in a wash tub with cool water, then fill some 16oz pop bottles with water and freeze them. Drop a couple bottles in the water whenever you need to keep it cool, switch them out as necessary, refreeze, repeat.
