Friendly helo from Kentucky

Just wanted to make a interdiction to the board. I've been reading from this site for quite some time now. My name is Brian I live in Lexigton, the Horse capital of the world, so they say. I've learned alot from you all already and look forward to learning more. Right now im trying to get a old thompson's humi stabilize, Not having the best of luck. I've done everthing I've been told and read. gave it pleanty of time and didn't rush it. The RH stays at 67-70 but the temp is about 75 the best i can do, without going to igglodor (spelling) and using ice to cool. Im thinking the humistat is bad or just a poor seal on the humi all together. Any thoughts on this dilemma would be appreciated ? thanks .......Brian

Welcome to the forum.

If I'm reading right, your humidor's Rh is 67-70 % and your temp is 75 degrees. Sounds like a good start. You should try to lower the temp a little but 75 degrees wont hurt anything. If you're going to keep you house at 75 degrees, I would aim for between 60-65 % rh.

Definitely, if your room temperature is stable at 75 degrees, you should reduce your humidity. Maybe get 60% humidity beads or 65% beads would suffice. Maybe you can just turn up the AC and bring down the temperature to maybe 65-70?

I get too hot easily, and prefer between 65-70 degrees room temperature. Good luck. OH, and welcome to the boards from VA!

I don't know what I'd do with myself if I had easy access to a Bourbon distillery.

And the beads work great. Get some 65% RH beads and you won't even need a hygrometer.

Welcome to the board from Kansas........I agree with WOXOF's advice.
