re: Homebrewing..... Some tips

Welcome to the hobby sir. Like other posters have said during the summer the easiest way to keep beer cool is with a fridge or a chest freezer with a temp control. Obviously not everyone has the money/space to have that option. The evaporation idea looks feasible.

I cannot leave this thread without pimping the two homebrewing clubs in town. Brasseurs a la Maison and Red Stick Brewmasters. I know you will get guidance in the club that I am in and I am sure you can get it from the other one as well.
