Once the meade has been bottled and set aside to age, what is the ideal temperature range for the storage area to be?
Well maybe you have room down there for a couple of open plastic barrels full of water, for evaporative cooling.Thanks ! I'm storing in the basement which probably stays somewhere in the mid 50s in the winter anyway. It probably warms up gradually in summer though, probably into the 70s. hmmm.

If nothing else, it should help keep the numbers down a couple of degrees when it gets too hot in the summer....

(can't put a wet t-shirt over a bucket...).
I've been looking for more ways to keep my fermentation temps down when I'm fermenting in a bucket (can't put a wet t-shirt over a bucket...).
Well see, I'm a fairly fit young fellow, and my t-shirts simply will not fit over a 10 gallon bucket!
O.K., 10 gallon is kind of big. Surelly you have some kind of discount store where you can buy a XXXL shirt for a few bucks.
Unless you're talking about wrapping this around the outside of the bucket, in which case yes, it will work perfectly well! Just realized that might be what you meant...
If you want to, you can have my ex. Her heart is colder than ice and she'd get the temp right down. Of course, you'd have to deal with demons, rotating heads and all kinds of spewing. But I'd be happy to ship her out of the country if you really need cooling
