Beer is good, making your own is better

Truth.......For proof, dribble something acidic like lemon juice or Worsteshire sauce into an aluminum rice cooker pot, and notice the metal taste that gets leached out of the pot.

In terms of fermenting, "damp" isn't really a problem, as long as you have a good air-lock (plastic thing with water in it) on the carboy (big glass thingy).

The most important thing is a stable temp. Basements are usually good for that, as long as they're warm enough.

it stays around 60 to 65 degrees down there unless it gets far below zero outside.

Good fermentation of an ale is about 70-75 degrees. At 60 you might be able to make lager.
