Fermentasaurus and display refrigerator

[Domingo.Delci]

I recently bought a Fermentasaurus and I have a True brand display refrigerator. I’d like to use the refrigerator to temperature control my Fermentasaurus, but I’m concerned that light will affect my beer since the Fermentasaurus is clear and the refrigerator has a glass front. Does anyone else have the same set-up? If so, what do you do to keep your beer blocked from the light?

I had a similar concern and used some reflectix that I had left over from insulating my kettle during mash. Seemed to work and looked nice.

Thanks! Do you mind posting a picture of what yours looks like? And the reflectix didn’t impact your fermenting temperature?

I was using a bucket for fermenting at the time (recently upgraded to SS Brew Bucket) so I don’t think a picture would be helpful. I didn’t see any changes in fermenting temperature, but the light issue didn’t occur to me until a week into it. Much of the active fermentation was likely already done.
