I made a temperature-controlled fermentation chamber by buying a minifridge off kijiji (craigslist for Canada), removing the plastic shelving on the door, then gluing the rubber (vinyl?) outline that holds the seal for the fridge door back onto it. I asked someone at the hardware store what glue would be appropriate for the task and got something that certainly has a nice hold. However, there is a significant smell of the curing glue still (about 5 days later) and I'm wondering if it's a bad idea to put fermenting beer in the fridge until it goes away. I put a glass of water in the fridge and it did have a noticeable glue smell/ taste. Any thoughts on whether I should wait for the smell to dissipate? Also, any advice to getting rid of the glue smell? I'm going to put some baking soda in the fridge now. Thanks!
