Sounds fine to me... my comment pertained to beer-making, which is heavily reliant on refrigeration — German beer used to be made in caves, where it’s year-round cool, and as the population grew, the entire product year would be consumed well before the next batch was even begun. Artificial refrigeration was developed and caught on because of that, rather than, oh, otherwise the children will starve or get rickets.

Didn’t know that. Thanks for the history lesson.

I brewed beer for years and never used refrigeration. Yeast like it at room temperature.
