Hey all,
I had an idea for a temperature controlled ferm chamber. Heating is easy, but cooling seems to be a little more difficult without using a fridge/freezer. Ideally, I'd like to avoid this as I already have a keezer running.
My thought was this: on 1 wall of the chamber have coils of copper alternating directions that has cold brine water through it from a cooler and pump. The chamber would be big enough for 1 5 gallon bucket, and be insulated.
I know it wont get to lagering temps, but I am looking to keep it around 60 to 62 F. I am not sure if that would be effective or accurate.
My basement gets about 64 in winter and 68 in summer.
Thoughts?
