Goodbye Swamp Cooler, Hello Fermentation Chamber

[jddevinn]

Great documentation.

If you plan on cold crashing look up positive pressure to prevent oxidation.

Is this setup working well with the Anvil fermenter? I'm thinking of buying one and pairing it with a similar chamber build, so looking for input. Chamber looks awesome by the way!

Yes, the 7.5-gallon Anvil fermentor fits with the airlock in this chamber. It's been a great setup for me! Good luck.

Also, I wanted to mention that I recently switched out the original heater with a Germination Heating Pad wrapped around the fermentation chamber on the side held on with some velcro straps.

Here is the germination heating pad I am using: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B085FC2CD6/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_5iuRFbT820Z3A?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I haven't used this setup (or the small heater in the original build) yet in freezing temperatures. For example, if the fermentation chamber was outside in a garage during the winter months. But I have used the germination heating pad for Kombucha with this same setup indoors and it keeps the fermentation nice and warm (around 79-80F). Just wanted to share the updates.

Would you by chance be able to take a picture of the Anvil bucket in the fridge? Just trying to get an idea of what the fit is like.

Cheers!
