Responded....

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I'm sure one of these will fix the problem

So I've converted a 20 cu ft chest freezer into a fermentation chamber but I keep getting moisture condensing on the sides and bottom of the thing. Anyone have any easy home remedies for the problem other than a crap load of rice?

Do any of you know if there is max amount of time that you should raise the temp on a lager for a diacetyl rest? I was thinking of letting an ale go through primary while my lager was going through a rest since the temps would be pretty much ideal for both but I'm not sure if the one to two...

I must bow to a new level of brewing obsession. I think you are the first person I've actually talked to that got his keezer started before brewing his first batch of beer. Absolutely awesome :rockin::rockin::rockin::rockin: Here's to a long and healthy obsession with the best hobby in the...

When using a freezer as a kegerator or fermentation chamber you have to get a temp controller like a Ranco/Johnson or your can build your own from a controller like a Love TS series temp controller. The love route is how I've gone with my Kegerator build and with this fermentation chamber. The...

You're not kidding about the heat... with this sucker though my hope is I'll have enough room to brew at proper temps year round. I've already got college football as an obsession I can only do four months out of the year, I'm not sure if I can handle having another with that restriction.

Wow...are you doing a collar and taps on the 24cu ft? that is going to be a monster if so! Now a few corneys and a sanke or two...that might be bad ass.

If I get to the point where I need to keep 12 kegs in cold storage then I am A) making too much beer or B) not drinking enough. Hopefully 8 filled at a time should be enough (4 active in keezer and 4 in this one). Maybe add a couple others if I do some lagering in the kegs.

Haven't done an independent test yet but as soon as I get the gel set up I'll test that (figure there's no use trying it with just the ambient air temp in the freezer)

Lowest ABV, all four are touching the sides but this one was on the rear left (opposite side from the compressor). Sensor has been hanging in the space where all four kegs meet about half way down the keg right now it's open air but will likely be breaking open an ice pack, adding the jell to...
