I built a simple corner bookshelf with a space for my mini-fridge for my bedroom around a year ago before i was into brewing. the mini-fridge is way too small to be used for anything other than holding the occasional couple brewskies, and i would like to keep it available for that. so here's my idea...
i want to build a fermentation chamber under the bookshelf, and use a temperature controller and fan to move cold air from the mini-fridge into the fermentation chamber below.... so that my mini-fridge can remain cold and i can still control my temps in the chamber.
Thoughts?
questions for you guys...
what are my risks in drilling two large holes into the side of my fridge? i dont see anything whatsoever running from the compressor in the back into the walls.
do you think 1.5" insulation will be enough? i have a keggerator so this will be a fermentation only thing. my guess is that the fridge will be able to handle it but some of you probably have more experience with these sorts of things.
