Hi all,
So I'm new to mead and concerned about temperature issues. The general consensus I've read is that between 64 and 68 degrees is the sweet spot for fermenting most meads. I made an attempt about two-three years in an apartment that had (unbeknownst to me) unstable temperatures and the resulting vinegar was less than desirable . I'm someone who tends to go overboard with new hobbies before I even know if I'll enjoy them or they'll even pan out. So before I go and spend a lot of money on a temperature controlled set up (that I will want to eventually get) can anyone give me any advice on controlling the temp of my fermentation in an apartment? I just bout a room thermometer to test the temps in a closet I don't really use. I'm thinking the dark closet would be the best with the limited space I have. Thanks in advance for any help you can give!
