I was wondering how everyone here handles this? I'm big on having a solid process, and will put a little more work and money into it ahead of time to make it easier later.
My brewing tends to come in waves, like right now I have 4 beers, all close to the same timeline. I usually ferment cooler in the basement (around 62-65), and bring upstairs after a week or so to finish at ~68. I don't really care for this process, so plan to build a fermentation chamber, but how do you all handle this for different temps? i.e., say you have a couple beers going at 65, but want to also do a hefeweizen at a higher temp?
My idea was to turn a shelving unit into a chamber, pulling air from a fridge or freezer. Then section off an area with a bulb-in-paintcan heater to use for higher temps.
Thoughts?
Thanks!
