AndrewF111 Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 I only have my garage to brew in, and my first brew will be in July and I am worried that my bottles will be too cold? Besides keeping off the ground and covering in a blanket any suggestions?
AndrewC5 Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 Is your garage insulated? Whats the temp like inside compared to the house and outside?
AndrewF111 Posted May 14, 2010 Author Posted May 14, 2010 Just bought the house, wont be in till July. Currently living in remote NT, but it is straight brick and concrete floor with roller door, no insulation except in roof
AndrewC5 Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 hmmmm, NT is pretty warm right? Im in Melbourne and the weather is very crazy. Its not crazy important, the closer you are to the right temp the better and quicker your beer will prime. If u REALLY need a some temp controm get a fridge with some temp contols on it, alot of brewers do it, have a look around. Searching for 'tempmate' should point you in the right direction.
Muddy Waters Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 Bring your bottles into your living area mate. If it is warm enough for you it'll be fine for the bottles. You can move them inside after a couple of weeks once carbonation is achieved. I've got my latest batch in the kitchen next to the fridge in milk crates at the moment. Otherwise you can pit them at the back of your kitchen cupboards or any other nooks and crannies where the temp might be a bit higher than the garage.
rossm Posted May 15, 2010 Posted May 15, 2010 Hey Andrew the fast aeroplane....just where is remote NT?.......is there any other sort of NT?...[wink]
AndrewF111 Posted May 15, 2010 Author Posted May 15, 2010 Gunbalanya Arnhemland. We are cut off for 4-5 months of the year. Cant brew here due to Alcohol restrictions being an indigenous community, so 7 weeks till I get back to reality and start my first brew [biggrin]
rossm Posted May 15, 2010 Posted May 15, 2010 G'day Andrew, I was wondering about that, I do most of my work on communities and am more than aware of the restrictions....we have plenty of them here in the centre too,...like can't buy Coopers longnecks!....I better not get started, catcha.
