Damn. I wish I could keep my place that cool. In Texas I couldn't afford
the AC bill. 68-70 should be just fine for *most* yeasts.

That would be fine as well. Wines, meads and ciders do not have the
serious problems that beers do with regard to light damage.

I don't know. I use my utility room for my brewing.
