Fermentation Chamber Design for 15 Gallon Plastic Conical

[bcrawfo2]

I'm planning a similar project and was thinking about not insulating the floor, but am concerned about the heat/cool loss to the concrete floor. Any feel for that? I was planning on doing two chambers...one with a mini fridge and depending on how that worked out...either another mini fridge or an AC unit.

I live in Michigan so I don't think we share the same issue. I mainly only need to worry about heating. I insulated my floor from underneath the work bench, then use two different sized buckets with insulation between them that snaps on underneath to cover the bottom/ valve end of the conical that sticks through the bottom of the workbench.

Nice, sub'd and will build in my new house.
