Gidday all, I have not long been doing homebrew and at the moment I'm just mucking around with store brought beer kits. I have been brewing spirit for a few years now, but have decided to include beer into it. I have started on my own take on a chilled/heated brew cabinet. as here in New Zealand it can get bloody hot in winter and pretty cold in winter. Therefore I fealt the need to accomodate both. The main cabinet is an old commercial oven that I acquired out of a restaurant. I have got the refrigeration side of it from a dehumidifier I had lying around. I seperated the evaporator and condensor, made the air box etc to surround the evaporator and included the fan inside the unit for frost free circulation. As it is at the moment, it is not completed as I still have to finish insulation, tiding up the wiring etc. But it is functional and I have put a spirit brew through it, it has definately improved the final product!! The brew that is in there at the mo is just a store bought malt kit. I have joined this forum to try and pick up some more helpful info on doing a beer brew from scratch, looks like I've come to the right place! I've put some photos below of the cabinet.
