Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)

[Ferrari5180]

Thanks for that answer m8, oh and for the quick response. Also, should I wipe down the humidor and then place the bowl, or should i just stick with the bowl theory? This seems safest to me, but I do not want warping to occur.

My analog hygrometer read 76% after the salt test, which i heard is quite rare for analog one's. So, on that I am happy. Receiving digital in a few days however. Thanks

Is the temp issue ONLY to gaurd against beetles?

If you freeze your sticks before putting them in the humi (my house ranges between 74-84 in the summer, Florida sucks ).... are there any other issues I could run into?

The humi rh stays around 72-75

So.... 77temp/75Rh... = ?? problems?

BTW.. I ordered a Edgestar 28 bottle (wood style) wine cooler yesterday

Cheers
Mark

RH of 72%-75%, IMO is way too high.

Generally accepted ranges are 60%-70%. It's all a matter of personal preference.
Personally, I prefer 65%.
