I think I've made my first IPL and it was by accident. Brewed an IPA last weekend and brought it inside to ferment with S-05, but I forgot to keep the door cracked to the little bathroom it was fermenting in and the room stayed mid 50's all week. I checked the gravity last night and surprisingly the S-05 had done some decent work at those temperatures. It's far enough down to raise it for the D-rest.

opinion needed:
going to brew up a new beer tomorrow. I installed a thermister in my closet (where i put my fermenter) to monitor the tmperature. currently the closet is ~66 degrees. I've read a couple places that enviroment temperature may be too high since the fermentation would be up to 10 degrees higher.

my first thought would be to fill an ice chest with water and put the carboy in it to kind of regulate the temperature better. I don't have a old/spare fridge to use.
