I recently built a 3 x 4 ft walk in cooler closet on wheels to ferment in. It has an ac and a coolbot mounted on the top. So far its working fine. My question is.....is it possible to keep the fridge at a cool 38 degrees serving temp at all times but still ferment inside it at 62 degrees at the same time? I have 2 carboys and a 12 gallon conical that i put on the floor of the unit and there is a shelf above for other things.
I originally consider trying to just stick the ferment vessels inside some kind of insulated bag with temp controller and a heat lamp. However, i was told from a coolbot expert who said he experimented along those lines and nothing really worked for him. He said the temps just equalized fairly quickly. I was wondering if anyone else had any experience or insight on if and how this could be done.
