I live in Florida, and one of the major things I was worried about is fermentation temperature. In the house here, we usually have about 75-76 degrees F. To keep Ale yeast happy, we typically want to be in the range of 65-70 degrees. Ooh! To top that off, the fermentation process itself produces heat, raising the temp about room temperature.
So far, my easy solution works fine. I had a soft cooler that is large enough to hold the carboy plus room around the edges. I have a few inches of water on the bottom and a towel wrapped around it. There is a room fan gently blowing on it. I have also added ice a few times when it tried going above 70. Keep it up!
