Using the laundry room.

[maglorski]

We have company coming over to use our spare bedroom/my fermenting & conditioning area.

As to not have my BIL put up with my set-up I was thinking of using the laundry room for fermentation/conditioning. The room does tend to heat up a when the dryer is used - should I hold off until our company leaves and resume brewing in the spare room or are the temperature fluctuations/people periodically going in and out of the room ok for the beer?

I was thinking too I could insulate the exhaust duct for the dryer as to minimize heat transmission to the room.

As always, thx in advance.

Temperature fluctuations are not ideal, but unless you are dumping the hot air directly in the room, I wouldn't expect the temperature of the beer itself to be greatly altered.

What is the typical ambient temperature? I'd do a test the next time you are using the dryer: fill a growler with water the morning of/night before, and measure the temperature immediately before turning on the dryer, and then right after. How much does it change?

I'll try that tonight and let you know.

Thx.
