Anyone doing relatively large batches ever fab up (or have fabbed up) a fermenter that is basically a tank or sleeve that is built to match the internal dimensions of a commercially available chest freezer? Or maybe an array of two or three that would stack side by side with little or no lost space?
I imagine something built just an inch or so shorter than the upper edge of the sides or collar. ...I'd ask for a lipped lid that could be ringed with a gasket to achieve a seal, and a vent suitable for fitting the airlock of my choice.
Temperature control would be amazing, I'd guess. Once complete, you'd have to use a chugger pump to transfer into kegs or a brite tank.
I know square fermenters catch flak for circulation problems and dead spots in the corners. That said... hmmmmm....
Help me brainstorm this!
