hi all

i have been fermenting for years in mr beer little brown kegs in 2.6 cu ft dorm fridges and want to upgrade.

i just got all this from more beer for less than 100 with shipping . i plan on using icewater bath in a cooler not glycol chiller. i already have an inkbird controller.

and i have some questions.
1 will this work or am i missing anything besides tubing , a Styrofoam cooler, and a pump?
2 do you think i could get away with wrapping it in reflectix
3 do you think i can get down to about 54 degrees in a 72 degree room
4 what size pump should i use to recirculate the water and tubing size etc.
5 someone mentioned a problem with too much head space does anyone thinks this will be an issue?
6 any other cool accessories i should get for this thing. its not a pressure fermentor i dont ferment under pressure.
7 any other tips or tricks with this setup ?

thanks in advance

edit : its a gen 2 flat bottom fermzilla, 30 liter
