[COHO] Suggestions for a summer (warm weather) fermenting brew?

[Jim Spencer]

Bill - I made several big IPA's and a Barley wine last summer in an
un-airconditioned house. The temps ran in Hi-70's. I placed the glass
fermenter in a galvanized tub of water in the coolest room I could find. I
wrapped a thick towel around in and kept a small fan blowing. I "basted" the
towel several times/day and worried like a mother hen...but they turned out
fine. I was using Safele 04 Yeast and Chico 1056...there my be some other
yeast better suited to the warmer temps. I say just go for it. Jim
