So we pulled out 30 1-gallon carboys out from under the house in a crawl space that have been there since March. Put new sterilized clean air locks filled with Ever Clear. Add scant amount of k-meta to each carboy. There was slight mold on the outside of the carboys even though they are in heavy duty Rubber Maid containers with lids.
Wiped down the outside of each carboy with a Clorox wipe. Replaced them in the containers with lids and back into the crawl space.
Even though it is in the upper 80s and low 90's here in NC, the temperature via my remote thermometer is staying in the mid 60's.
Looks like the storage in the crawl space will work well.
I plan to get some, I think it is called Damp X or something similar and put one in each Rubber Maid container to keep the humidity down and hopefully the mold on the outside of the carboys. Each tote holds 6 1-gallon carboys.
Most will be done aging 1 year in October or within 3 months of October and I will bring them back into the home as we should be cooled down enough in mid to late October.
Anything I over looked? I will re-check in mid September and add more k-meta to each carboy.
