That is why I am looking for suggestions :) Which model is your 3.6 that fits an ale pail? That sounds like what I want.

Thank you for the input :mug:

The problem is finding one that fits a bucket + airlock. I don't want to have to add a collar or build a cabinet. There are a ton available but are either 1) too small 2) hour drive away 3) people suck at measuring if I ask them to. I understand that buying used is cheaper, but I am not able...

I am looking for either a minifridge or wine fridge to hold a 6.5 gallon bucket with airlock. Floor space is important as I am currently in an apartment, hence no chest freezer. The temp controller is already wired and ready to go. Obviously the cheaper the better, but I have searched craigslist...

Excellent. And that's the beauty of brewing, I can always change it next time :mug:

So a fermentation chamber would just be an old fridge with a heat lamp or some other thing inside and a dual stage controller? My basement stays around ~64 degrees all year round. I do not currently have enough space to do all grain. I will eventually though!

So I just started brewing a few weeks ago and have done 2 batches so far. I got the brewers best kit to start and added a wort chiller and extra fermentation bucket. I jumped right into kegging and have 4 ball locks with picnic taps, a freezer from craigslist, and a temp controller. What...
