[COHO] Putting a wet jacket on my beer

Well, I hope everyone else had a good time at Hop Madness while I was at a  
booooooring wedding!  
 
I never thought I'd be dressing my beer fermentor!  I just put my  primary 
bucket in a large tub filled with water and then draped a heavy wet  towel over 
it to get the evaporation going and reduce the temperature.   Everything is 
under the house where the temp's have been in the very low  60's.  I'm brewing a 
corn beer with a lager yeast and I was hoping for  temp's in the mid 50's.  
Still a bit warm but I was anxious to try  something new.  This little heat 
wave is threatening to turn it into a  steam beer.  It is bubbling away as we 
speak and the temp has dropped to 59  degrees.  We'll see what happens.
