Wine fermentation stuck in carboy?
In a house without A/C... The windows are allways open so the house temp
varies from 70 to 90 right now. usually on the high side of this range most
of the day. The carboy is not in direct sunlight and only sees the most
light the latter part of the day, ie west side of house. I could chill it in
my Sub Zero wine cooler, but the max temp in there is 65 degrees.
