Finally, Fermentation chamber build. Almost completed

It's not as pretty as some of you very skilled wood craftsmen, but it's functional and holds temps quite well. I just have to finish sealing the inside with aluminum tape. It's been caulked already. I'm excited to brew a Cream Ale tomorrow, which will be the first brew that get to sit in the chamber. Now that i can maintain lager temps, i'll brew one soon.

Just wanted to share.

Nice job! I like the idea of hiding the fridge and the vent for air circulation around the 'hot side' of the fridge.

Thank you. Wish I could take credit for the ideas, but I can't. I've borrowed ideas from several people. It can hold 3 carboys or buckets. That's two awesome weekends of brewing, starting tomorrow.

I like it. May be borrowing the idea soon.

Update: The fermentation chamber is completed and working beautifully. It is holding it's first brew, a Cream Ale. Temp set at 18.5C with a 0.5 differential.
