So this has been discussed - but not to great length honestly.
Looking at SS Brewtech's FTSs it's a great system, but I can't help but think I can do it cheaper.
So I'm thinking about 3 of SS Brewtech's brew buckets - thought about a chronical, but I just can't justify the price...especially a brewmaster - so I can get 3 of the buckets for the price of 1 chronical (again brewmaster edition) I'm not recycling my yeast, so I don't think I'm loosing that much here.
My thought is buy one of these(maybe 2):

Cut it in 1/3's or half if I buy 2, then add some compression fittings, and barbs, drill through the top of the bucket's lid and run it through with weld-less fittings to keep it nice and air tight-ish, at that point you just need a pump, and an inkbird and you're good to go. Figure I can do each one for less than 100 bucks, quite a bit less if I really try.
Any ideas? Concerns? - I know a fermentation chamber would be way easier, but I just don't have the space for another freezer/fridge in the house.
