What think you all?
I actually did make a “hat” for it. I had a half sheet of 2” thick styrofoam in my attic (don’t ask) and cut 4 circles out of it to raise the top so everything fits inside. The only thing I think I’m going to change is the carboy. I usually use all glass (because that’s all I have) but I think I’m going to pick up a fermonster so the wort temp can drop quicker and will be easier to control the temp.It's bigger than it looks, you'll need to make a themed hat for it?
A jar…I have one of these refrigerators, mine has monster energy drink graphics, it works really well. I think I paid about $50 for it on letgo. I use 6 and 7 gallon fermonsters and a piece of foam board with a hole cutout in the center as a lid. I've had condensation buildup so I added a rechargeable dehidifier and that solved the problem. I place a jar upside down over the hole to reduce moist air entering and that even allows me to monitor the airlock without opening the lid.
The only downside of these is lifting the fermenter high enough to get it in and out. So far I haven't pulled anything but it's a workout for sure. A step stool would come in real handy.
This. One of the best things I've ever bought on Amazon. Hint: when you need to plug it in to recharge the absorbent crystals, use an extension cord and lay the unit on a wire rack, etc so it gets good airflow. It gets hot during recharge.A jar…
sometimes the simplest solutions are the hardest ones to think of.
Do you happen to have a link to that rechargeable dehumidifier? That’s pretty interesting.
One of these would probably help if not be necessaryThe only downside of these is lifting the fermenter high enough to get it in and out. So far I haven't pulled anything but it's a workout for sure. A step stool would come in real handy.
I use brew haulers on all my fermenters, they are great for general handling but the straps being so high up makes it harder lifting a full fermenter up and over something.One of these would probably help if not be necessary
