I just scored a massive chest freezer on craigslist that will hold all of my fermenting kegs, carboys, and bottles. enough space for about 10 corny kegs and a CO2 tank. i could hang out in there with some friends and beers.
anyway. since i already have a kegerator i was just wanting to use this as a fermentation closet. i got a thermostat from AHS and set it to 65. within a week everything was covered in mold, from the beer that spilt down the sides during kegging/racking. i sprayed everything down with diluted bleach water and wiped them clean.
is this a common problem or do i just need to be certain ive wiped down everything before it goes in there?
i would love to post a picture of my setup but it seems i cant post because i guess i am a newb? haha. maybe someone can help me out with that.
