Alright, looking for some thoughts before I go cutting holes and gluing foam together.
I have a keezer (14cu ft) that I'm hoping could provide some "cooling power" to a fermentation chamber. Now, I'm not in a position to go tracking down some old craigslist fridge or freezer and not wanting to try a swamp cooler, so bear with me with this idea
As you can see from the attached diagram, I'm wanting to cut a hole in my freezer and use a high speed PC fan connected to a temp controller to provide cool air to the fermentation chamber. The room where this is located typically won't get above 68 for the next few months. I'm mostly wanting to keep it around ale fermentation temps, but would hopefully be able to get down to lower temps to start a lager (which would then be transferred to the keezer for lagering).
I keep the keezer around 35 degrees. Do you all think this would provide enough cooling? I'm thinking it should, especially with the mass of all the kegs. I may add some fans inside the cooler for extra circulation.
Thanks in advance!
