I use a couple of old chest freezers as fermentation chambers which are kept out in an unattached garage. I use a thing of Damp Rid to keep the humidity in check. However this is not always enough and I was wondering what others use to deal with the humidity. Sometimes during this time of year all the inside walls and even the top are wet and can even "rain" inside when I open the lid. I am fairly certain this is because of the massive temperature difference between inside and outside the fermentation chamber (outside it can be like 20F and inside I have an ale going at 65F). I am thinking of trying to ensure a better seal (right now the cords just run on top of the gasket and there is a little bit of a gap) but I'm not sure that will be enough. My wife suggested getting some odorless and dustless kitty litter to put in a bag but I'm not sure how well it will work.
