[COHO] Warm Weather Yeast Question

[brett thomas]

Some Belgian yeast strains will perform well at higher temps, but probably not 90 degrees.

  Hello Group,

  I was just sitting here by the pool in Cabo sipping a Pacifico and staring out at the waves breaking on the beach next to the swaying palm trees being pushed to and fro by a gentle on shore wind when I started to ponder a beer problem (beer...no problem).  By the way, it is cooler here in Cabo then it is back in Bend; weird huh?

  Anyway less I digress...my son lives in Palm Springs where it is (of course) hot.  He already has a freezer for his venison and game meat so adding another fridge or freezer there won't work (trips the breaker).

  He has a swamp cooler (evaporative type) but it only drops the temp 20 degrees (110 = 90).  He has tried the cold towel sitting in a tub trick with some OK results.  His last batch got contaminated and went skunky on him.  

  I, of course, want some home brew when I go down to visit.  Is there a yeast and recipe that performs reasonably well in that environment?    I'm thinking that he should move a fridge into an inside room on a different breaker and then he can brew to his hearts contentment.  

  Suggestions?

  Bill
