I'm nearing completion of my fermentation chamber build. I copied the many threads here on HBT on building out a chamber off of a dorm fridge. I built a box with framing and 1/2" plywood off of the fridge. I used that 1/2" pink insulation from Home Depot, R value is 3.0. I was originally going to put 2 layers of the insulation but after lining the whole chamber once it took awhile and was kind of a pain to get good seems so I'm considering sticking with 1 layer of insulation. The other option I'm considering is getting a little thicker insulation, maybe the 1.5" stuff, and insulating the exterior of the chamber, outside the plywood. I haven't seen anyone try this here on HBT insulating the exterior of the fridge in addition to the interior, so I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas on if insulating the exterior also will add significant insulating character similar to double insulating the interior.
Any ideas?
thanks
