So I've finally gotten all the parts more or less acquired and assembled for my fermentation chamber. Its been a 3 month struggle of moving/cleaning a buddies old fridge, painting, getting my InkBird 308 and heating element, realizing i lost a hinge off a 1980ish fridge and having to order and then jerry-rig a replacement hinge. Anyways. Its ready to plug in! But my Nut Brown is almost done in primary and I wont be brewing again for several weeks. So here's my question:
What do you do w/ your fermentation chamber when its empty?
I know the best answer is "Brew Moar Beeeeer!" but time and funds are tight and that's not a viable option. So what are the next best options? Turn it on w/ a 5G bucket of water in it? Leave it off until x hours before my next brew day?
Also is it better to keep it cooler than I expect it will need to be for my next batch (say 57 instead of 62) to aid in the cooling of that next batch?
