brew belt

[Trubador]

I am going to be using this tonight to bring a Pinot Noir up to 75 degrees so that I can degass tomorrow and sunday.


Question is this: When using the brew belt, the instructions say that nothing can be wrapped around the carboy while in use. Currently, I use a towel around the carboy in order to keep light away.


If I use the brew belt and don't wrap the carboy in the towel, it will be exposed during the day to some low level light, it is in a basement, but still has some light during the day. Will the two days or so exposure cause any ill effects? I suppose I could build some sort of standing light shield if necessary.

Trubador, I don't think the low level light you are talking about will harm your wine in the carboy.

No need to worry about that kind of light level for that length of time. Nothing to worry about.

I have my carboys set up in the basement as well, i actually have nothing covering them because I always like to look at them when I walk by, and they haven't been hurt yet by the low levels of light.
