My two cents? No way will the a/c keep up. But what do I know. I do 5 gallon batches!

Brewskii said:He didn't say he was doing 240 gal BATCHES.... Just a 240 gal FERMENTER.
I think it'll work.. If your doing 10 gal batches. You could cut a hole in the side and mount a window unit right to it! : )
( it'd be a ***** to get samples tho..)
tektonjp said:How do you think you get 240 gallons in a fermenter? You gotta brew it first, no? So if it makes you happy, 480 five gallon batches into a 240 gallon fermenter.
tom_gamer said:480 x 5 = 2400
tektonjp said:Haha. I are a math guy. You got me. Would you believe 48 batches, or has my already tarnished image been tossed out with the trub?
LeeVanCleef said:I plan to ferment in a 240 gallon food-grade plastic container. Will an air conditioner mounted into the side of an insulated fermentation room be sufficient to hold 64 degrees with so much beer creating heat? Does anyone know of the estimated temperature differential between air temp and liquid temp?
