My basement stays about 63-64, my kitchen about 66-68 and my computer room 74-76, I'm reading up and it looks like my basement should be the perfect place to ferment right?
I plan to start with a Mr Beer to get my feet wet and then as time and energy and ambition allow upgrade to something a little nicer. But Mr Beer or no I want to ferment it as perfectly as I can.
Also how much if any, does humidity affect the potential brew? It's a basement so I have a large dehumidifier set to 40% in the basement bathroom and I also put in a return vent for the AC in the basement to help keep the air down there circulating (and the basement warmer than the 50's it used to stay in the dead of winter).
So anyway, basement, low 60's 40-50% humidity (and of course dark), perfect place?
