Lol. Truth in that. If my garage didn't have a project car in it I could build a brew house in there. Some day soon I hope. Thanks guys.

Only reason I'd say pitch after the ride is to be sure you aren't transporting beer around in a location that could have a high ambient temperature. Especially if you are trying to brew a beer with a low fermentation temp required. That's my opinion anyhow. No need to shock your yeast during...

Thanks guys. I knew fermentation made co2 I just didn't know if any other gases were produced. This is the first time I noticed a smell let alone one this powerful and is my second time using a freezer for fermentation.

I assume one 5 gallon batch isn't going to be near enough to produce enough co2 that I need to worry about it being in my house.

In theory if the fermenter id's sealed well enough then I couldn't see any reason that traveling could cause am issue as long as the temperature wasn't to high before you pitch the yeast. Not sure I'd want to risk the effort though. You could try building a gravity unit that fits in a corner of...

Anytime I have doubts about my beer I still let it ride. The end result is what matters. If you dump it you don't know if it was good or bad. At least if you wait then you can be sure it was ok or not ok.

I recently started to use a freezer with a thermostat to keep a steady temp for my fermenter. I started a brew 3 days ago. When I checked on my beer the fumes in the freezer about blew me away. Are the fumes from the fermentation process dangerous?
