Most of your stuff was good, but this isn't exactly correct. Condensation happens at all sorts of temperatures. If you don't believe me, next time it's 30+(C, about 88F or so I think?) out and pretty humid, put a glass of cold water/beer out. Within a couple of minutes there will be a lot of condensation on the outside of the glass. That said though, if you're not cooling the water below ambiant in any way, then no, it won't be an issue.
