    Update- if anyone is interested in the progress. Without any humidification the Rh inside was 55 after 24 hours. Justin recommended I use the Bead Calculator to determine the amount of KL I needed, which was 6#. Justin recommended doubling that. So I bought some KL, went by Petsmart and bought all of the nylon mesh drawstring bags they had in stock (4), filled them with KL and filled 2 large cookie sheets and added 2# of HF beads in drawstring bags. I misted everything with distilled water, but didn't get carried away. These are scattered throughout the winedor. Will check Rh tomorrow and see where I stand and adjust from there to get it dialed in close. I am shooting for 63-65 Rh, which is what my cigar are currently acclimated to. As a first time KL user I will say it takes a bunch of the stuff to make 8#. Progress has been made.
