Opinions vary on humidity....I opt for about 62%, but 65% seems to be the most common among those who have been doing this a while.

Do you have a wine cooler, or some other temperature controlled humidor like Aristocrat? Being in Phoenix, my house sits at 78 throughout the summer. I was thinking about rotating some ice packs in my cooler until I can afford a wine cooler.

Stop giving away LP#9's and you could have that wineador in no time.

A hygrometer is a must, preferably a digital that is adjustable.

I like 65/65, some prefer 70/70

I have an Aristocrat, but it is not temperature controlled. I keep it on a lower level of my house, and do not let the temp. in that room exceed 70* in the summer.

Absolutely.
