Home Brewers in Florida (or other hot locals)

What size freezer is that? Are those a 5 gal and a 6 gal carboy? That's really the set-up I would like to go with if I can find the space. I'm debating starting out with just brewing one gallon batches to see if I like it enough to continue. That should take up considerably less space and should be a decent introduction into the hobby.

7.5 cubic foot magic chef

2 6.5 gallon plastic carboys. They barely, barely fit side by side. In fact, one of em will pinch a tad when 2 6.5's inside. Much easier with a 6.5 and a 5 gallon secondary.

still.... works GREAT for me!

Thx for the info on temp control options all.

Very Curious after reading about using Farmhouse/Saison yeasts and fermenting at 80-90F with that strain. Will that strain impart typical Saison spicy funk sour flavors to all beer recipe styles you use it with at very warm temps or maybe a bit cooler ?

I'm figuring it would not be at all good taste wise if used in a high gravity beer like a stout or porter. But how does it work out in a Pale Ale, IPA or other lighter style ale, Taste wise ?

I don't notice any difference than when I use American ale yeast but then again I only have made ipa's.
