The family came through BIG TIME and I got a stack of Home Depot cards to play with! . I want to make a fermentation chamber, and want to hear / see your ideas!!!
Here's the rules:
1) SWMBO says it has to fit under the stairs. So no full size refrigerator/freezer conversions
2) I want control, so not swamp coolers, ice baths, etc. I am done with that.
3) I'd like to do Lagers and Ales, so 2 chambers if possible.
4) I have a mini-freezer, about 4ft tall that could be used as the chilling source. Will post specs as soon as I get home.

So hit me with ideas! Or links. I did a search and what I came up with was insulation boxes and tubs chilled with ice. I would like to get a little more technical then that. You guys are an innovative bunch so I am eager to hear, see, read your ideas!

the room type window mount air conditioners work pretty well for fermentation system chilling.

Under the Stairs, huh? Any way to close off that space, insulate the ways an install a fan for cooling.

Here is my build that i originaly designed to fit under the stairs in my basement. http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/my-fermentation-chamber-build-242016/ The original plan was to run it off of a mini fridge 2.7 cf. I made some minor alterations to run it off my kezzer when funds started to run dry. The original dimensions with the platform for the fridge was 72 inches wide, by 2 ft deep, by 32 inches high. You could shorten the width by 14 ish inches if you only want to fit 2 fermenters in it.
