    Im running out pf space in my beer fridge and don't have a basement. Can I store beer in my crawl space if I put it up on lifts so it doesn't get wet or does a crawl space vary in temp to much?

    I would get a temperature gauge that reads humidity and temperature such as this one:

    Stick it in the crawl space for a few days taking some readings at various points in the day (morning, middle of the day, night) and see what the averages are. If they're close to "normal" cellar temperatures then definitely. If you find that it gets up to 75-85 and stays up there then it may be too hot.

    I'd just do some research on your own crawlspace before throwing your beer in there.
