Wanted: Info on keezer with side fermentation chamber

PunkVaulter · 08-31-2009, 09:17 PM

I've been searching for info on this for a while and haven't found quite what I'm looking for.....

Is there an article/thread anywhere showing a side fermentation chamber connected to a keezer via a tube on the collar? I really like the chamber on top design, but a side box would fit my space needs better. Is this a crappy idea?

It's a great idea.

I used a foam box a la Son of Fermentation Chiller with flexible insulated ducts to supply the cold air from the kegerator. I can get down into the mid 50's empty, and I've been fermenting at 62 degrees all summer.

How well would you says this works?

For ale temps it works like charm. I have long runs and a pretty small fan, so if you shorten the hoses and beef up the fan I would think you could get down to lager temps pretty easy.
