I'm going to be brewing an Extra Pale Ale and with recent temperatures in the 90's, temperature is my main concern. I'm going to place the carboy in a rubber maid container with cooled water in the guest bath tub. I figure I can put in a ice pack in the morning and swap it out with another at night to try to keep the temperatures in the mid 60's.
My main question is how long do I need to keep this up? I generally leave my beer in primary for three to four weeks and then bottle. Also, do my bottles need to be kept in a cooled environment? I'm not going to leave them to condition in my hot garage but I was hoping a room temperature closet would do.
