I started brewing in the night and can't beat the heat with two gas burners running, keeping the hot water supply heated, mash tun or brew kettle going. The inside temps currently range from 99°F -105°F with fans running.how do you beat the heat. I have passed on brewing several nights now due to heat.
Our garage is insulated and the A/C can't handle the heat load during brewing.My g/f wants to get the garage insulated/ac'd but then I need electric burners!

I keep hearing people in Florida saying "It's too hot to ... " whatever. It's a mental thing. .
I see those in Vegas and I assume those only work well in very dry climates.I will probably catch some crap for this being I am NOT in the south even a little but this may work well...
At an amusement park I have seen them take "mister" (as in a fine mist not a guy) garden hoses, suspended under bridges that people walk under, to provide cooling. Well, if you had a way to suspend one of these in the air above you, you could just run the garden hose and sit in the shade and enjoy the cool mist...

Nah, not arguing either. Maybe it's because you have such cold groundwater? It's just that I've lived in the humid south my entire life and never see them here, only when I go to Vegas.Unfortunately Wisconsin/Northern Illinois is NOT dry and that is were I saw them. I even went through them and screamed like a little girl because they were ice cold...lol. This was a few years ago at 6 Flags/Great America. I also see them from time to time at other events. Just an idea...not trying to argue, just help!
Brewing in the south is tough business.
Brewing at 5 AM does have one HUGE drawback...... I can't RDWHAHB.
