I've got my first batch (Amber Ale) brewing, so I'm not expecting perfection, but...
I'm fermenting in a utility closet. A water heater and HVAC unit, in combination with 2 outside vents keep it between 65° and 72°. A very small amount of indirect sunlight leaks in through the vents, so I loosely covered them with foil. But that affects the airflow and the temp rose 2°.
I don't want to cover the carboy as that might trap heat.
Am I being too cautious?
