Hello.
I've been unable to brew in Las Vegas for months now because of the temperature here and have decided to build a fermentation chamber. I have a 1.8 cu. ft. Haier HSW02 Haier HSW02 (1.8 cu. ft.) Compact Refrigerator Details and Product Specifications - Epinions.com that a friend donated to my cause and was thinking of building something along the lines of this https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/4-6-cu-ft-fridge-10-1-cu-ft-fermentation-chamber-conversion-88554/ chamber under the workbench in my garage.
Here is the work bench it'll go under
The back wall is insulated and the floor is a concrete slab. I was planing on boxing it in, insulating the box, and butting the opening of the fridge into it (as described in the project linked above). How large of a chamber can I build using this small fridge as the cooling source? I was thinking of something big enough for maybe 2 to 3 carboys.
Let me know what you guys think. Is this even a good location to put it?
