Just wanted to see about some feedback from people to see if my brewing system will be able to handle the temperature control for an extended kettle souring, specifically maintaining the wort at ~ 100F for the time needed.
I have an old converted upright freezer that I use as a fermentation chamber out in my unheated garage. I have a small ceramic space heater with fan that puts our 750watts (or 1500 on full). Using this I have been able to maintain fermentation temperatures from 62-72 as required during even the coldest months in Minnesota (in January I had a Dubbel which I ramped up to 74 while the outside temperature was 15f).
Should I have any issue using my fermentation chamber to maintain the 100F needed for kettle souring now that temperatures are back into the 50s ?
