And yes, a cooler environment with good air circulation is key. In past years I've laid it out on the open wire shelves I use for indoor seedlings and run the fan on them to keep the air moving. It took a bit longer than hanging, but it worked fine.
Thank you Fathers Daughter! I appreciate your response and tips!

Yes, after growing out a few varieties, German White did give me the best harvest!! I will save a few of my largest bulbs for the cloves to plant this fall. I do have Music and a few other varieties on order. I tried to order some last spring, but the garlic companies were sold out early. I hope they do well, but we will see next year!
