So I was thinking of using a large chest freezer as a fermentation chamber that would allow space for at least 3 buckets/carboys. My problem is that I'd like to be able to do this at a variety of temps(for ales+lagers temps) simultaneously without having to buy multiple freezers or setups. A one chamber system is ideal for me spacewise.
The best solution that I can think up right with is using 3 temp controllers with 3 probes and 2 brewbelts. One controller/probe combo would keep the freezer at an adequate temp for my lager(with probe in the lager). The other 2 would be simply heating the buckets/carboys individually.
I already have a johnson controller and I made one of the ebay aquarium controllers recently, so another(probably single stage) wouldn't be too hard.
I've also heard of people using arduino's to control something like this.
Does this sound feasible? is there an easier solution?
Thanks!
