no, not carrying it down into the basement
just a little confused as to how it will work as a fermentor.
I'm assuming all i need in one of those johnson controls refrigerator thermostats and i'm good to go?
NORTHERN BREWER: Fermentation Temperature Control
I'm a little confused on how a freezer will work as a refrigerator, will it just be in defrost mode all the time and will this shorten the life of the appliance?
also, this chest is a good size, should I eventually go to a conical fermentor, could I just drop that in there also? I'm trying to read as much as possible, but sometimes I'm reading contradicting info and seeing carboys in temp controlled fridged with heat elements attached (??)
thanks in advance for the help--psyched to pick up the freezer on the cheap, hopefully i can put it to us for more than bulk frozen foods from costco.
