    Side by Side Fermentation Chamber

    Originally I wanted to add a window but I am not sure now. I was going to cut a square out around the hole i drilled in the fridge to make it a kegerator and put a piece of plexiglass there, but I think that will compromise a constant temperature so I am not sure if that is what I want to do...

    Side by Side Fermentation Chamber

    oh yeah... the temperature controller has the actual plug to the fridge hard-wired. We disassembled the cord and ran the three inner cords up the old water line. The plug that comes out of the temperature controller has been run up the door and through hinge where all the old electrical cords...

    Side by Side Fermentation Chamber

    Day 4 Almost done on the outside. Just need some paint and something to fill in the gap next to the temperature controller. Shelves still need to be installed but my newest IPA is done fermenting and needs to go through a diacetyl rest. So the shelves can wait a week. All in all, once...

    Side by Side Fermentation Chamber

    Day three The shelves are built and just need to be screwed to the sides of the fridge and I need to put some plywood on top to make the shelf functional. Also, I need to, obviously, put the door back on. But, the weather stripping is being a pain in @$$.

    Kegs and Carboys in 1 Fridge or Freezer?

    I have this same problem, but I had a side by side fridge donated to me so I went with that. My initial idea was to use the freezer side as a serving cooler/ lager fermentation and the fridge side be the ale fermentation side. After looking through numerous threads I found that this was possible...

    Carboy to keg transfer experimenting

    Ready for the revival?!?!?! Do you still do this? My carboy cap doesn't fit very well so I was thinking of drilling a bung with two holes, for air in and for liquid out... I figured the liquid out could also work as a blow off tube during fermenting so you can take gravity readings without...
