    Building a fermentation chamber from insulation foam

    Has anyone had success building a fermentation chamber out of the foam board insulation pictured below? I'm thinking of building a case for my fermenter so that I can take advantage of my cold garage during winter (along with a temp controller and a seedling heat mat). I'm wondering how...

    Monitoring & Controlling Keezer/Fermentation Chamber remotely?

    I am new to homebrewing, just a handful of easy ciders and kit beers under my belt. I do have a keezer, and am building a single carboy fermentation chamber right now. The former just uses an Inkbird ITC-308 for temperature control of the big upright chest freezer. I am also admittedly a total...

    3.2 cu ft mini fridge ferm chamber?

    Hey there. So I'm looking to build out a ferm chamber for my 7 gallon SS brew bucket – issue is I'm a bit tight on space / wife isn't a fan of a chest freezer going in anywhere. So I've settled on the idea of building out a collar for a mini-fridge and extending the depth that way. Curious if...

    Heating a keezer/fermentation chamber: best options?

    I am using my custom-made keezer as a temperature-controlled fermentation chamber, at least during the holidays. I was checking the temp while I was away (it sends the temperature info to a server via the Wi-Fi) and I noticed that it wasn't oscillating or even reaching the minimum temperature I...

    Crawl Space Fermentation Chamber Build

    After spending a good month trying to decide where I wanted to build out a fermentation chamber, I decided on the roomy section of my crawlspace. All the wood I'm using is re-purposed from shelving ripped out at work to save on costs. I started with mounting the back braces to the wall with...

    Connecticut Wine fridge or fermentation chamber: $75

    Located in New Haven, CT. Selling a vissani wine fridge I've been using as a fermentation chamber for $75 OBO. It holds temperatures perfectly. The door is a little crooked which can be seen in the photos, but it works well and doesn't have any effect on temps. It fits a pony keg, 1/4 keg, 6.5...

    Sold Fermentation chamber mini fridge in exchange for a 6-pack

    Located in New Haven, CT. I got this mini fridge from a HBT member a few years ago and it's worked perfectly since then. Got a larger fermentation chamber so I figured I'd pass it on to another brewer. It's yours for the price of a 6-pack of beer if you can pick it up. Just needs a temperature...

    I know there are several other discussions on building fermentation chambers using thermoelectric coolers, but I wanted to share my fermentation chamber build since I hadn’t come across anything like it. A while back I was deciding on what I should use for a fermentation chamber and I came...

    New or Used Fridge for a Fermentation Chamber?

    I should probably begin with where I brew, as I believe this has played a huge role in my process. I live and brew in south Mississippi. Our 95 degree heat in the summer provides another challenge in the process of fermenting. I know what you are thinking, “Just put the fermenter in the cool...

    Temp controlled Brew Room Vs a 5 cubic foot fermentation chamber

    I would like to start off by saying, Living here in Arizona makes it difficult to temp control fermentation to say the least, summer is 120+ deg and winter is 34 deg. So I decided a temperature controlled fermentation chamber would be best, to help me regulate stable fermentation temps and help...

    Commercial fridge turned ferment and cooler combo

    This is a True GDM-52 that I’ve turned the bottom half into a fermentation chamber, while leaving the top as cold storage and a place to carb kegs. @Jbrown57 is about to do a build on a GDM 72 (72cu ft!!) and asked about my build, so I figured I’d post some pics here instead of hijacking his...
