Looks like the average low temp for Flagstaff is anywhere from 2-12 degrees lower than Buffalo, NY. So if you got a REAL winter, then what's colder than that?

Most people think the same thing though, AZ=Hot. But Flagstaff is in the mountains, 7,000+ feet elevation so it's cold, we've had 3 inches snow already this winter and frost since early September. Plus our crappy house is insulated like a shed so heating is very expensive (as is everything else here).

I certainly could open the door and try to heat the room, but I'd much rather just move the beer. I like the cold room in general because it makes it much easier to ferment other beers and lagers in the winter.

Where did you get the Roselaire blend? I can't find it on Wyeast's website, nor B3, nor Northern Brewer, nor William's..and now I've run out of sponsors to check, unless they have some hidden in a watermelon down at the 21A.

I got mine from Northern Brewer but it's a seasonal release from Wyeast, so it's only been available recently in the spring. I got mine last April.

So hopefully in the next few months it'll be available again.

Thats why everyone needs to call or email wyeast to let them know you want to see that strain come back.

Let me preface this by saying "It gets that cold in your house?" Never gets much below 65 in mine.

But, if I were a cheap bastard, could I use an electric blanket, as long as I monitor the temperature regularly? Or is that too warm or unreliable?

What I do is take a heating pad and place it sandwiched between an old folded bath mat.
I then place the carby on top of the heating pad/bath mat configuration.
It heats from the bottom , and of course the heat will rise.
Use a low setting and monitor closely as we do not want SWMBO to worry about burning down the house.
Just my $0.02 worth.
