The wood is common board pine that I used a walnut stain on and then about 10 coats of poly with some sanding in between.
The top is 3/4" plywood and then some oak trim (also walnut stain and poly) around the edge to give me a lip for the resin pour.
The foam board is standard pink 1" board...
Update: Got the inkbird and tubing complete. Also put on some heavy duty spring loaded hinges from an Electrolux unit!!
Finally operational and pouring great!! Thanks for all the inspiration on this site!
I hadn't really thought about drilling another hole for just the blow off tube. That may be my best option. I'll have to get everything in the fridge and do some measuring to see how that would fit if at all. Thanks for the input!
I use a Catalyst for fermentation so I don't think that will fit across the lid. I'll have to measure it out. BUT that does give me some more ideas!! Thanks!
I don't generally age my beer other than a few big stouts or the occasional barleywine. I suppose after fermentation is complete I could replace with a solid bung if I'm doing some secondary conditioning/additions.
Thanks for the explanation! I don't have room to fit an airlock in but I think I can squeeze a blow off tube in there. Guess that's the route I'll take.
Has anyone used these? I'm looking into them so I can use an old mini-fridge as a fermentation chamber. Traditional airlocks will be too tall. Thanks in advance!!
