I am fairly new to homebrewing but now have a few ales under my belt and want to start improving the process as well as get into lagers.
I have a plan to build a a small cabinet that is just large enough to hold one brew bucket and in the future a 6.5gal carboy with airlock. I would like this box to get do to around 35f if possible. I will use styrofoam/foam board insulation to insulate the box, What r-value do you suggest. Second I like to take the guts of a mini fridge and control the compressor directly from a Love temperature controller, somehow I will have to remove or override the existing temperature controller.
I would like any feedback from any one who has any experience in a project of this type and know if it is or isn't possible.
