Hey everyone,
First post so I hope I'm putting this in the correct section.
I'm going to be brewing my first all grain batch in the a few weeks with some guys from work. Since I live in Fl, fermenting in the house really isn't a great idea b/c even with the air cranking my house can get up to the low 80's during the day. I plan on using a GE fridge/freezer combo that I have in the garage to ferment my beer. I'm going to get a digital thermostat control unit to regulate the fridge temp to ensure it stays steady. However, i'd like to double it as a kegerator as well. So my question is, is having the freezer an issue? I know that the cold is created in the freezer and blown into the fridge area. So if I just hook up the thermostat, put the gauge in the fridge and let it go will I have any issues with the freezer?
Any feedback from someone that may have done this or is doing it would be greatly appreciated.
