"I know that some people actually use refrigerators for brumation, this way they have a more consistent temperature and control. Unfortunately, most refrigerators lack the space required for large collections unless you do a rotation based period to cycle through your collection. "



This is exactly what I do. I only have 8 hogs right now so I brumate a pair at a time in the wine cooler.



I'm wanting to drop down to 4 weeks, but I'm worried that could mess things up, since I did 8 weeks last year.



I don't know if I would be comfortable not brumating. I'd hate to miss the whole thing on accident. Brumating at least gives me a schedule to follow so I can make sure the pairs are together when they need to be. 5 years down the road that could change though.
