I am going to stop by a local brew store next time i'm over that side of town. I'll ask and let you know what I find out as well. The more ideas the better. Thanks @Taylor – please do.

There has to be some basic science that can be used to determine which types of material would yield the best results. If I come up with anything, I'll circle back.

I think its just polyester but it seems pull the moisture real well. Thanks for the idea.

Instead of covering the carboy in a cotton t-shirt I substituted an old runners shirt made from wicking fabric (like CoolMax). The fabric seems to evaporate the water quicker than cotton. I'm able to maintain between 68-70 degrees with the ambient air being at 77. Not bad. I've also thought about using some wool felt but haven't gotten around to it yet. Have you ever experimented with different fabrics to see what provides the best evaporation efficiency? Cheers! Hi Sean,
