Good to know, the castors were only a thought. I just ordered my valves and such this morning, so with any luck I can put a brew in it next weekend!
Are there any concerns with the weight when putting the fermenter in the fridge? Those of you who put thier Brewhemoth in the fridge do you add some sort of plate to the bottom of the fridge so the legs don't bust through the bottom?
What's wrong with making a piano moving style frame with humps for the casters, keeping the ferm legs down low to the ground plus secured to the frame at each leg?
No single leg pulled or strained, able to roll around plus the same height as original after removing the levelers installing a bolt thru the castered frame upwards.
I agree. The nuts holding the original levelers aren't much better than tack welded on, so I can see why Dale would recommend against casters with the legs as is. But a bolt on triangular dolly should work just fine and is what I'll be doing.
What do you mean "are they round"? Are conicals any other shape? I admittedly have been drinking all night but I am confused by your question...
that I also would have assumed would be "round". They are not.

I purchased an upright freezer for my fermentation chamber.
It is a Kenmore 20.6 cu. ft. (2805)

Note: It's common for Sears to offer sales at 30% off throughout the year. I waited for that before I purchased.
I used the DYI aquarium controller I bought on eBay

And...
I bought two mini Dehumidifiers (I think I could have gotten by with one)

The site lists it as 50" tall and 16" diameter, but I'll measure mine when I get home, it seems taller.
....what shape are they?
oval. You measure one way, and it's 15" in diameter. Measure another way and it's 16 1/2". We've tried to persuade them back, but have not had much luck. This has made getting lids, that don't cost 25 bucks or more a piece, a bit of a PITA to locate. At the moment, the best/cheapest route I can come up with inverted pizza pans. Not quite what I wanted, but I've also spent quite a bit on other pieces of my rig already, another 75 dollars worth of lids I was not planning/want to spend.
