So I got rid of the table saw that I kept in my kitchen in trade to my neighbor for a chest freezer. it is a 15 foot deep chest freezer that looks to be from 1979. I kept it in the garage for years and on my last move brought it into the basement. when i started thinking about controlling fermentation temp and kegging this was the free choice, but when I last put it through a defrost cycle to get it all cleaned out. I noticed that it had some awesome smells to it, kind of an old camping tent smell. I also had quite a bit of water that drained out of the door when I opened it. I put a bleach solution it a misting squirt bottle and thoroughly sprayed everywhere and let it air dry open. Then I closed it up with a temp controller and the smell has come back.
Is this going to cause problems for fermentation? I am probably not motivated to put cornies with picnic taps in there with the smell for fear of contamination.
Thanks for your thoughts!
