I ordered one of the EBay temperature controller units to convert an extra refrigerator in to a fermentation chamber. Well its been 16 days and still on controller. Im brewing my first batch this Sunday and its looking more and more like Im going need a backup plan to keep my fermenting wort below 70. I live in Texas so theres no basement and no room in the house that will be anywhere close to consistent or cold enough. Is the large tub filled with water and frozen water bottles my best/cheapest option? What are some of my other possibilities? Also I have an A/C window unit. If I build a foam board chamber around it and set it to the correct temperature will the thermostat in the A/C keep the chamber at that temperature consistently? Thanks in advance for the info everyone!
