I brewed my first 2 batches
. 1. Autumn Amber Ale - which turned out ok but some off flavors because of temps
2. My pumpkin ale is bottle conditioning, but I've had a few in which it tastes ok so far.
Now I was getting ready to brew my third batch and I knew that temp control was a must. I have some friends who are contractors, so getting my hands on scrap insulation for nothing was easy. I ordered the electronics from THE COOLER GUYS.
I don't have the electronics yet and I probably won't have them until mon-tues.
The American IPA was brewed and then tossed into the son of fermentation chiller with a gallon of ice. The ice is lasting close to 2 days holding the temp at the low 60s. I'm sure once I get the thermostat and fan in place, it will work very good.
I would recommended any that's new or just anyone, to throw the swamp cooler out the window and go for the chamber cooling. Once I get the electronics and finish, I will gladly post pictures!
