I think it was right around 62 degrees down there this morning. Maybe just put them in a cooler in the coolest spot in the basement and throw one of those blue, refeezable ice packs in there every other day to bring the temp down a little further? I am assuming as long as I can keep the temp around 60 degrees or so I will be fine for longer conditionaing, say 3-4 months or so?

No room in the current fridge for all six bottles, so I either need to aquire a second fridge if they need to be stored at a cooler temp than my basement will hold them at.

However... I would have been about #730. :( I did not get a wrist band (but thanks to friends, still got Darkness). I got there at 11:45. People getting there about 11:15 ended up in the 650's I heard.
