So I have this space under our basement stairs. It is 38.5" wide and is probably 10ft deep. It has a useful depth of about 6ft. I thought there was a floor drain, but it is just a sump hole. I guess you put a pump or something in there. I'm wondering if I insulated this room and made a proper vapor barrier if a small 5000 BTU AC unit would hold it at fermentation temps. I could buy a condensation pump to remove any condensation from the AC unit. As a matter of fact, there are two condensation lines running through this space overhead. I wonder if I could pull another hose through the same space. I have a book on building walk-in wine cellars and it goes into a lot of detail about vapor barriers and insulation. The best part about the space there is already an outlet in there on the left side.
So does anyone have any experience with a space like this?
