Hi,
I t is too cold right now for Ales, so I am using an old
refrigerator that is sitting int he garage as a fermentation chamber.
The only problem is the smell. I cleaned it as good as I could
even sanitized it, but at Ale fermentation temperatures it is really smelly.
It is the typical old fridge smell (it wasn't kept very clean by the previous owner).
I don't think there is a reason to worry about the brew since it is sealed
by airlock, but I don't want to have a stink bomb sitting in the garage neither.
Does someone have have a good suggestion how to get rid of or
minimize the smell?
I have baking soda inside to combat the smell but it
just doesn't help at that warm temperature.
Thank you.
