In my house here in Phoenix, 68 degrees is not even close to room temperature,
not
from March until nearly December. I do still try to develop at 68 degrees
because one
constant temp just means a variable I'm not wrestling with. But this usually
involves a lot
of time getting water to temp, and a lot of ice packs, and sometimes a few nips
from the
spare bottle of distilled water kept in the refrigerator. There have been times
in, say, July
when I'm saying the heck with it, and settling for 72 degrees. Anyhow, my rinse
water in
the summer is never cooler than about 85 degrees. Home-based alternative
process
photography (silver-based b&w) is a dubious activity down here for a good part
of the
year, I'm sorry to say. I really miss my years in San Francisco, when the tap
virtually
never exceeded 50 degrees, and a water bath was something you'd warm on the
stove
before using.
