I know that flourescent light and direct sunlight can have an affect on beer
flavour. What about incandescent and indirect sunlight i.e. blinds pulled
but room still has some light eminating through the blinds. I have my carboy
wrapped with a towel ATM but was just wondering. Thanx in advance.

Flourescent and direct sunlight will "skunk" beer. There are chemicals
in the hops which react with certain wavelengths of light. Incandescent
light does not have enough of the right wavelengths to cause a problem,
so it's safe. Indirect sunlight depends on how much of the right
wavelength is getting through, tough to call.

Ah, mi amigo, if you have always lived in OZ, you ain't really
seen freezing. Zero to -5C is 32 to 23F and not to mention the
snow that stays on the ground and turns to ice. Places like
Chicago and Minneapolis -10 to -15F which is -23.7 to -26C.
I truly envy your idea of freezing! <G >

Yes, never a truer word has been said.
It's late Autumn/Fall here and the max temps are in the mid teens (°C)
Although, we do have a snow ski season here in the Aussie alps.

Incandescent is OK, it's mostly yellow and red. Indirect sunlight does
contain a lot of blue and green, so it's a question of how much and how
long. A red curtain would help a lot.
