Hi all, I was talking to some people the other day about Puer and the aging process. A friend of mine brought up the fact that the extremely dry Minnesota winter might pose a problem.
For those of you who don't know, Winters in the upper Midwest get bitterly cold and dry, and indoor heating makes the air dryer still. Many people employ humidifiers and lotion to keep comfortable.
I hadn't thought of this before, but it's occured to me that, since the overwhelming majority of puer aging goes on the subtropical and tropical regions, folks will tend to care more about overly damp environments, and dryness may not really be an issue.(
So I was wondering whether anyone has enountered this problem, and what they have done about it. I know there are humidity regulating devices for storing cigars. There are similar devices for intruments. While we usually use a hudifier at my place, I'm afraid it won't have enough of an effect on the inside of my pu cabinet.
Any ideas?
Nico
