I've set up a chest freezer with an Inkbird as my fermentation chamber. I brewed a batch of beer on Friday and placed the carboy in the freezer with a blowoff hose going into a jar of sanitizer.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

I will be using a newly purchased Idylis 7.1 cu/ft chest freezer from Lowes as my fermentation chamber for the cooling side. I will be using a Fermwrap homebrew fermentation heater on my 6.5 gallon glass carboy for the...
