This is a continuation of my original information gathering thread https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/fermentation-chamber-size-133701/
For those just joining us, i'm using a Haier HSW02 (1.8 cu. ft.) Compact Refrigerator Details and Product Specifications - Epinions.com and going off of TwoHeadsBrewing's DIY thread located here https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f11/new-fermentation-chamber-build-102846/
I have decided to take the plunge and have started measuring and getting things laid out. I'm trying to decide on the size of this thing. I'd like to fit 3 carboys comfortably, which puts me at about a 48" long chamber. With some preliminary measurements, 20" W x 32" H x 48" L = ~17.7 ft^3 outside. Factor in the width of the insulation and plywood and we're probably closer to 13 to 15 ft^3.
Do you guys think i'm going to have a major temperature problem at this size? I plan on at least one 120mm fan running when the fridge cycles.
Pics are to follow.
