Mini Fridge Extension Chamber

Here's my version of the mini fridge chamber that I have seen a few times on here. A $40 craigslist fridge, some lumber, insulation, and aluminum tape. I have my first pale ale in there now and it's holding steady at 68. i'm using the Inkbird dual controller, but don't need the heating side currently. If I do need heat this winter, I made a little heater out of a paint can and light bulb that I will use. I'm hoping it will get and hold cold enough to Lager but we shall see!

 

Great build, have you been able to maintain lager temps?

 

Excellent build. I'm thinking of doing the same and using the same controller. How has it performed for you? Did you ever try lager temps? I want the flexibility for both ales and lagers.

 

It's worked perfectly for the two ales I've done. Held the temp right at 68 the entire time.
I haven't had a chance to try any lagers yet, but I suspect it will work great. I will keep this updated when I do try a lager, hopefully in the next month or so.

 

Awesome...thanks!
