Can I use my keezer I made for a fermentation chamber?

[finished1]

I recently built a keezer. Picture is attached. I installed a STC 1000 temp control to replace the original freezer temperature control. I am able to adjust it to any temperature. I am also able to remove the CO2 tank fairly easy with the disconnect installed. I live in the PNW and the temperature is fairly cool during the year but the summer is inconsistent. Will I ruin the keezer if I set the temperature to 65-70 degrees to ferment a beer? Anyone have any experience with this?

You'll be just fine. Lots of people use freezers for fermentation Chambers.

What are you going to do with your beer that's in the keezer? Ideal situation is to have another freezer to ferment in. Just remember, anytime you are using a freezer above freezing temps, you should have something to absorb the moisture that will form inside.

I guess I assumed it was currently empty since he talked about removing the CO2 tank.

It is currently empty. July 4th party drank more beer than I predicted. I also just purchased an Eva-dry to absorb the moisture. I just have never used the thing as a fermentation chamber before.

You'll be fine. I use a spare little freezer as my ferm chamber.
