Being new to the brewing game and living in GA, I'm quickly finding that maintaining steady fermenting temps in the summer is not easy and has, I believe, created some off flavors in my beer.
In an effort to create the ideal temps for fermenting my primaries and secondaries, I'm hoping to get some opinions about what others' prefer in terms of a fermenting chamber. I know everyone has a different opinion on this, which is why I'm asking. Some of my concerns are:
-Cost (am looking to buy used and retrofit it with a temp. controller)
-Capacity (I want to fit at least 2- 6.5 gal. carboys or ale pales)
-Energy Consumption (For financial and environmental reasons)
-Space (I don't have a lot of room - enough for a fridge or 7cu/ft chest freezer)
