HI all,
I‘ve been thinking about a mod to my fridge so I can crash my fermenter and want to see if anyone has a though on it.
my fridge is new and full size so I’m not thrilled about cutting a hole in the side for a chiller line so here’s the idea-
if I had a small diameter tube (1/4” copper or smaller)- I was thinking to cut the fridge gasket and create a channel for the tubing to go through. Then I could put a container in the fridge with cold water and a pump to send chilled water to my 10g conical.
Would that work in theory? This way, if I ever pony up for a full-on chiller, I, only out the expense of replacing the seal.
in fact, I could do it to the freezer and set up a container with a glycol mix.
let me know if I’m crazy or its a dumb idea. Seems easy...like I’m missing something big.
