This is my fermentation chamber
The white thing on front? It's a dehumdifier which is a very small A/C or a very large fridge system depending on your point of view. I bought two off of CL for $20. This one is the spare, showing the cold side coils
(is this upside down for everyone else? It is for me and I can't figure out why??)
It's just a plywood box lined with 2 layers of 3/4" foam insulation. I cut a hole in the front of the box and slid the humidifier through. I separated the cold side coils from the hot side with two sheets of insulation and filled all the gaps I could find with great stuff. A 8" box fan circulates air in the chamber to keep the coils from freezing.
Total cost of the project was ~$85 including the controller. Interior dimensions are 15 1/2" x 27" which is just large enough for two primaries.
BOM:
1 dehumidifier
1 sheet 1/2" plywood
2 sheet 3/4" insulation
3 furring strips
4 casters
1 can great stuff
1 temp controller
A bit of extension cord
Duct tape on the exposed edges
and a crap load of screws
How does it work? I can cold crash at 35 degrees in July in TX :rockin:
