Hello everybody.
I've recently started building a custom-designed fermentation chamber and I'm halfway through the project.
However, I've suddenly got a sinking feeling that I may have made a huge oversight: I don't know if the mini-fridge I intend to use will be powerful enough for the size of the chamber.
The box is going to be approximately 4' wide, 2' deep and 2' high. I intend to house up to 4 fermenter buckets. The good news is that the my house is air conditioned and the ambient temperature doesn't rise about 71F. I intend to mostly ferment ales (low to mid 60s), but I'd also like to be able to cold-crash in this fermentation chamber.
I don't think the mini-fridge will have trouble keeping the chamber in the low 60s, but will I be able to cold crash with it? Thanks for your advice!
