Hi, I live in Central California which, to the surprise of many, is unbearably hot during the summer months. Temperatures get above (and stay above) the 100 degree mark on a regular basis and energy out here is just crazy expensive. Basically it boils down to keeping my house at fermentation temperatures during the summer months is just not possible. I need temperature control, and keeping an entire freezer going during the summer is pretty hard on the wallet as well. I loved the idea of the Son of a Fermentation Chamber due to the effectiveness and the fact that it's easy on the energy bill (no more than a few computer fans!).
I want to build something similar out of an old dresser I have sitting around, and the dimensions are almost perfect, so it will be an easy conversion. I will have the 3 ice chambers on the top shelf (where the top drawer was) and have fans pretty much keep a circular flow of air through the 3 chambers and into the fermentation chamber and out of the fermentation chamber again into the ice chamber. I will of course still insulate and seal the entire interior. My question is this:
I will need to operate 4 fans, and I would like to do so with a digital thermostat if possible. What would I actually need to do to use a digital thermostat and have it run about 4 computer fans?
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
