I started this a while back, thought I would add mine to the mix.
Been running about 6 months, no issues - I put two Auber PID controllers in the freezer door and bypassed the OEM thermo - once I started cutting was done in a couple hours to current state.
Still want to install Heater on fermentation side.
The good-
- can ferment 15 gallons on fridge side
- 2x 5 gallon and 1x 3 gallon serving/conditioning on freezer
- some storage for hops/grain etc
The bad-
- had to use a 3 gallon keg ($120) because of circ fan on freezer side
- storage space is limited, have to store extra kegs at ferm temps
Overall - I am very happy with this unit - when I was only brewing 5 gals at a time it was spot on - now that I have a larger brew rig - have to invest in a freezer (upcoming!
)
If you have install questions - shoot, I'll help with what I learned.
Cheers and thanks again HBT!
