I like cold beverages
I am sure that I am not alone in not having enough room to have a keg fridge and a fermentation cabinet but with summer coming up I would like to control my fermentation temps.
The idea I had was to take a ss pot and make a silicone tubing gasket to go over the edges of the lid to make a seal and hold it in place with a few clamps. (kinda like the $250 conical do more the most part) For a blow off tube I would drill a hole in the lid large enough for a stopper and blow off tube.
To control the temps I was thinking of trying to go the peltier route but I am not sure of how to attach the cold plate to the side of the pot. Any ideas on that?
I think I would just use more of the smaller pelts because of the problem of removing the heat from the hot side, but there is some math that needs to worked out on that aspect.
wrap the pot in foam and jb weld some castors to the bottom so I can roll into the townhouse.
maybe this isn't a great idea, but I think it beasts removing the keg from the keg fridge for a week or so to do fermentations and the ice water bath would be great if my wife didn't always have the freezer full of food and I have hops taking up space on the door.
Any thoughts, suggestions, words of encouragement/discouragement?
