Our good friend and patron, Skitter, has built a nice little fermentation chamber to maintain his temp when brewing in his 2 Mr Beer kegs.
It has me wondering about building something larger that can handle three 6 gal batches (buckets) at one time, and building an insulated chamber such as his and using an old water chiller (the type you have with the 5 gal water bottle on top) to maintain the temp.
I've kept it for a while thinking I could use it to maintain my swamp cooler water, but I'm thinking I could use a fan to blow across the condensing coils and cool the air instead.
I assume I'll need to figure something out with the thermostat though.
Has anyone done something like this?
