I do not have space for dedicated equipment like a fridge for fermenting.
Living in SoCal a basement is not an option.
I am considering making a "fermentation coffin" in which I can utilize underground temps like a basement.
I have checked underground temps. On the northside of my home I see 56F all year round. While the temp is not adjustable it is super consistent. I can then tune my recipes to my liking.
I checked for similar threads but did not find any. Has anybody tried this?

- Dig hole
- Place waterproof floor
- line walls with moisture proof materials
- seal walls to floor
- walls rise 3-4 inches above ground
- build insulated & tight fitting lid
- put in fermenter
- put on lid
