Dual temp fermentation chamber

Post by mattvincent24 » Sun May 11, 2014 9:27 pm

I've been away from the forums for a while so i figured i'd let you guys in on what I've been up to. Just finished this today and can't wait to brew again so i can put it to good use. Fits 4 carboys in the left chamber and 2 in the right. Left will be for cold storage and the right will be for fermenting. Had it running today and holds temperature better than i had hoped for.

Looks pretty awesome. What are you using for your cooling? Is it the same unit for both sides with a gate between them?

It's a 5000 btu ac unit. And yes, a fan blows cold through a gate and and warmer air returns through another. When I get a chance I'll post some more pics.

Matt,
Do you have any pics of the inside? I need to build a chamber myself at some point, and where I need to build a shelf for my gear I may incorporate this into it.
