This frustrates me especially because I haven't seen any other people on the internet with problems.
After I built it I tried it out with no fermenter inside and it dropped to 65 really quick so I was excited. Now that I have beer in there it won't get below 75 (almost room temp, which we keep at 78 here in Houston so our electricity bill isn't through the roof) with 2 one gallon jugs of ice in it. It is sealed with weather stripping, so I am not sure how to seal it up any better. Only thing I can think of is to go to 4 jugs of ice, but I am afraid that much weight will break the walls of the unit. Anyone have any good ideas here? This is frustrating the crap out of me.
