Is it just because a mini fridge has a small glycol capacity to begin with? Starting to understand I think. Am I making a big mistake if I plan to turn one into a fermenting chamber?

I will take pictures of my cascade. Took a major major hit by something. It's first year it did the same thing. I depending on what you guys thing I might pull it from my greenhouse and invest in a better variety for my location

Some of the coolestook Some of the coolest looking hop flowers.

that is very cool! will Glycol react negatively with copper? i feel like this is a stupid question.

thought about this for a night or two now. I think you are right it would work well for exactly how i intend to use it.

you can see the damage to the second to hop in from the right side. sad.

My Tahoma just never stops growing. But as soon as I added some quality 7-7-7 food the plants just took off again

man look at he size of the cones. i feel like i am not doing something right. Thinking growing my hops in pots and me not wanting to over feed the plants has lead me to starve the plants of needed food.

wow that's all i have to say. you are not alone in this weird weather. not as destructive but the insane heat and lack of rain scorched my cascade. growth stopped. its recovered and the lower half is looking happy. its becoming a pain keeping the plant from going insane.

i think its more of what i have on hand. i have thought about AC unit builds but haven't put a whole lot of thought into this. my plan from the start was to just have a fermenting chamber under a large workbench that i am building in my brew room. like all things you tend to get more ideas or...

that sounds very interesting, how is he able to move the fermenter around. i would love to see this if you are able to take pictures some time.

i do as well. What really has me thinking is what type of life you would get out of the fridge. I found a almost one one locally for 20$ if it last a year its a win win. if the think had some type of insulation that would currently help.

how hard would it be to bend the glycol tubes that chill the freezer element? my first thought it would just kink almost instantly. or even more fun bust and shoot pressurized glycol all over. i would add a fan to help keep the air moving around the tank. i have a few ideas i am tossing...

So last night I was thinking a bit while looking at a new mini fridge I plan to modify into a fermenting chamber. Currently I have a SS brewtech 7G conical that I drilled and added a chilling coil similar as to what you would find on the brew master edition. I also plan on using kegs to...

100% a dark mild for me as well or a German amber of some sort 50/50 Pils and Munich malt a good blonde just easy drinkers i guess.

Bummer, great it was already worked out for you.

so i excitedly ran out the greenhouse this afternoon to check on my fan. well at first it wasn't running.... so after some messing around looks like i had a loose wire. (cheap wire from amazon.) fan kicks on and i was impressed. One thing... i mounted the fan backwards you know standards *******...

i would be so mad at the chickens haha.

do you know why the others died?

looks like side arms to me. you will know when it starts to flower. you have tons of time left for hops. some hops will flower late in the season. it also depends on the time you plant etc. the cones on my centennial are 1/4 inch at most. i believe they tend to bloom sooner than most. i would...
