I have an Amana standard freezer on top fridge that I use as a ferm chamber with a Johnson A419 controller.
It takes a long time to cold crash and get the wort down those last few degrees to pitching temp (it's summer time).
After doing a lot of searching (and not finding much) I finally just jumped in a cut a 10"x22" hole in the bottom of the freezer section opening it up to the fridge.
I was careful and didn't break anything. The controls are still mounted just above the fridge door. I removed the metal and lights and that gives me a little more vertical clearance for doing 15-20 gallon batches requiring 3 or 4 buckets. The lights are now mounted in the freezer section.
Questions:
- has anyone else done this? links to your build?
- should it work as I expect?
- moisture problems? smell? do I need baking soda or something to freshen it up.
- want to see photos?
