Can you use a chest freezer with a digital temp controller to ferment Ale's in the 70F range? I have been using the foamboard cooler with ice jugs and it works great but I want to do two carboys at once so I was thinking of getting a chest freezer (7 cubic foot) and putting in the garage with a digital temp controller...just not sure if I can keep the temp that high with this kind of setup.
Also, can you drill a hole in the wall or lid for the temp controllers probe or do I just shut the lid on the cord?
Thanks!
