Hey Guys,
I've been looking into building a fermentation chamber for precisely controlling temps for my ales, and getting myself into lager brewing. I live in Southern Ontario (Canada!), and do most of my brewing in a 67-68 F basement. I'm not much of a DIY guy, so I was trying to keep things simple. I was hoping someone with a little experience could let me know if I'm headed in the right direction:
For temperature control:
Ranco ETC-111000-000 Prewired Digital Temperature Controller
A chest freezer like this:
Haier 5.0 Cu. Ft. Chest Freezer (HCM050EC) - White
and of course some small de-humidifiers combined with awesome sanitation to keep the mold away:
Eva-dry E-500 Renewable Wireless Mini Dehumidifer
Is this all I need? Will setting this up pretty much involve only some heavy lifting and plugging things in?
Thanks for the help!
