Thanks for the reminder, but I did do the sleeping bag trick, and those were the results. The only thing I did differently was I wrapped two carboys in one bag, so maybe the lack of relative closeness of the bag to all sides of the carboy made a difference? Not sure. Next time I’ll probably primary upstairs, but I then hate moving the carboy to the basement for secondary – it just screams “you are oxygenating the shit out of your beer right now” to me.
