Most Unlikely Place For Wine But It Works says... Along those lines, my cellar has been keeping at 50-60% for some years now, even without my fountain, as I needed the space that it occupied for more wine. I just changed out my WhisperKool 8000 for a split system and have been a bit worried about the humidity with the new unit. So far, 50-60%, but the monsoon is here and I've been running the misting system on the lower level, where the cellar is. Probably not a good control for my test, and I will be watching it closely, when the drier season is upon us. I still have to humidify my cigars, but they really love the monsoon! In my previous cellar (pbuttive and in Colorado), I used a tray of water with a large sponge in the middle. Much of the sponge was exposed to air and it worked well, keeping things at ~50%. If it dipped a bit, I'd just place a bar towell into the pan, with much of it hanging out. Always worked there and we had relative humidity in the 10's much of the time. If I built a new cellar, I would definitely have a water feature someplace in it. Hunt
