Hello
Does anyone have any tips for increasing temperature in a small area of an already cool basement? I have a 15 Gal American oak barrel. Its filled with Mosti Modinale Barolo Juices (already fermented) and I started MLF in the barrel. Its in my 61 degree basement. The basement has no built-in heat, but has electricity. I realized the temps were slowly dropping from 65 to 60 and will drop further. The problem is I see evidence of MLF stopping as the temp drops (no more tiny bubbles). Its only been a week since innoculation and I know I need more time and its better to have the temp around 70F. Also, the barrel is on a homemade cart with wheels so I can move it around on the same floor. I'm looking for tips on increasing the temps around the barrel 10-15 degrees, while keeping the rest of the cellar cool, where wine is resting and aging. Thanks in advance. Dave |
