I have read many articles of folks taking old broken fridges and using them as frozen bottle cooled fermentation chambers.
What I have not seen is anyone putting one of these fridges on its side, which would give you a lot more real estate to fill with fermenting wort!
I measured and I found a better bottle or ferm bucket with an airlock would fit perfectly in the chamber, but my glass carboy would require a blow-off tube.
I think there is even room for a bucket in the freezer section.
My thought would be to custom wire the damper that controls the flow of air from the freezer to fridge and put most of the ice bottles in the freezer and using a thermostat to regulate the temp in the main chamber.
Am I missing anything? Does this seem feasible?
Thanks!
