Hello,
I have been contemplating a system for Lagering for some time now and have finally landed at a concept in which I think may work. I have read into lagering a little bit, probably should some more but I am asking you guys to maybe give me some feedback. Maybe someone has already created something like this also, you could direct me to similar plans too, that would be great!
My goals in this were to have a dedicated "primary" fermenting tank for lagers and a secondary fridge to keep colder lagering temperatures. I don't want to constantly adjust my fridge from the 44 to 55 range since I will be having multiple beers fermenting at multiple temperatures.
Excuse the crudity of my diagram, I didn't have time to build it to scale or paint it...
My concept in short is to have a "fridge" with a bucket full of cold water 38-42 degrees and a pump to run the liquid from the fridge to the fermenting bucket through a copper tube much like an immersion chiller would do to chill wort. I would have a small aquarium pump to circulate the water. STC-1000 to control the temp of the fermenting bucket.
Any evaluations, comments, suggestions or advice would be great! Thanks!
