Alex Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I keep mine in the kitchen. Best constant temp in the house. Almost winter here in Ottawa, Canada and we can get temps as low as -45C. Right now in Nov (with my heated floor) I keep them at 21C constant. Temp outside is about 0 to +2C Just wondering where you keep yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I keep mine in the garage, but in a fridge with temp control. The ambient temp gets hot in summer and cold in winter (not Canada cold) but the fridge keeps it steady. But when it isn't in use I keep it in my bed so I can cuddle up to it at night and tell it how much I love it [love] That was a little bit weird, wasn't it? [innocent] I keep telling myself that I shouldn't share those types of stories. Those are between me and my FV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I too keep one in my temp controlled fridge in the rear room of my house, for exactly the same reasons as Hairy does. I am about to begin experimenting with a form of external temp control of a FV in a spare room I was using before I got hold of the brew fridge. I'll know in a few weeks if what I have in mind will be viable or not. But when it isn't in use I keep it in my bed so I can cuddle up to it at night and tell it how much I love it That was a little bit weird, wasn't it? I keep telling myself that I shouldn't share those types of stories. Those are between me and my FV. Don't worry Hairy, your secret is safe with me! [wink] Beer.

Wal Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I keep mine in fridges in the shed, i am fortunate to have 3 of them that are temp controlled (all "acquired" for the right price!! [innocent]). Fridge 1 can hold 2 FVs, Fridge 2 can hold one, so quite often I have 2 ales going and one lager. The 3rd one I use for keeping bottles in (it holds about 100 bottles) at 18-19c while they await going to the cold fridge. Even though I take great care of them, I have never taken an FV to bed with me!!! [biggrin] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[whistling Beer. Nah... I spend too much on electricity to be able to afford solar panels!!! [lol] It's not as bad as it sounds really, because they only need to get down to 18c or 12c for lagers. Even when I am in the shed on weekends they don't seem to run very much at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adz Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 In a hallway, center of the house, temps are pretty low and steady there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddy Waters Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I keep mine in the garage The "garage"? Hey fellas, the "garage"! Well, ooh la di da, Mr. French Man. I keep mine in a temp controlled fridge....in my car hole [bandit] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilboBaggins Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I just got my temp controller on Sunday, so mine's in there in my spare room. [love] [love] [love] [love] [love] [love] [love] I was worried about power consumption when I got it, but the thing only needs to come on for a few mins every hour or so to keep it at 19* with barely any swing. I'm freakin' stoked! The fridge was free and the controller and all the bits to put it together were under $40. Why the hell did I not do this sooner?

Otto Von Blotto Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I keep mine in the garage. For some reason the outside temp doesn't seem to affect it that much. I still need to use my wet towel to cool it, but it works because it doesn't get that hot. It's a high set house though and the garage is underneath the house itself which may have something to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 I always forget that our season are reversed...lol. Yeah winters are harsh here, but nothing poisonous in the cold! [cool] Three FVs eh? I think I might buy a third!!![love] When summer kicks in here I will be buying my self a fridge to regulate as the temps get as high as +40C with humidex. But summer is short only June to July, maybe August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
