Ok so I bottled my first brew a few weeks ago and couldn't wait to try it. Popped a couple in the fridge and they turned out damn good. SWAMBO likes em my BMC buddy thought they were decent and I think it's the best thing ever. (but since it's like my kid then i have to think that.) I have a few...

So I'm getting ready to build my ferm chamber. I am going against the norm and am using R 13 bat insulation. I am basically going to build house walls for this thing. One question I have to ask people here is have you noticed much moisture in your chambers. I am going to use OSB for the inside...
