I don't have a barometer to check humidity, but I tried to keep the humidity up by keeping a tray of water in the bottom of the fridge. There is a lot of contradictory information about airing temperature and humidity so I decided cool and a little on the moist side was the safest course. Thanks Randall Rosa,
