Haha only because it was free. I do like the fact that I dont have to lift an entire carboy up and over a chest freezer wall though. I would find a stand up freezer if possible. I would rock the hell out of one of those.

Why do folks seem to prefer chest freezers as ferm chambers over fridges?

Less "construction" involved. You only need to add temp control to a freezer. With a fridge, most shelves won't hold the weight of 2 full carboys/buckets. A fridge would definitely be better from a humidity standpoint in the south, since it doesn't create as much condensation.

Having a short pull of my Amber:


Bottled up the last of what SWMBO has consented to distribute of the wood-aged Scotch and regular Scotch for gifts/comps. If you're Mark (or whomever is receiving shipments at his address), you're the only HBT'er that's going to see this bottling of the wood-aged (unless it doesn't make it to 2nd round). One bomber of the regular coming with me to NHC this year.

Toby, I live your posts. I really do. I wish I loved anything like you love beer. But...dude, clean your lens. Everything you post looks like Cybil Shepard's scenes on Moonlighting.

This is pretty awful. Extremely boozy (and not in a good way), borderline cloying sweetness, heavy licorice flavor. Blech!

I agree - and I don't think time will heal that one.

Please thank her again for me!

Coffee. I decided I wasn't going to try skating my way to CT today so i stayed home and went back to bed for a couple of hours.

You went back to bed for a couple hours but still posted at 5:20?! Are you sick in the head?!

Four Wheel Drive certainly helps in those conditions.

ive only had FWD cars or RWD drive trucks personaly, the trucks were 4WD but i rarely ever put them in 4WD, even in the snow. and never had a problem with either... good snow tires on a FWD and you are good to go... studed snows make a big difference... drive slow and take your time

water- hate tuesdays

Driving slow really is the most important part. I have a FWD car now and can get around just fine in the snow. Its the ******** who try to take a turn at 15-20 MPH like normal that end up in a ditch and wonder why. I do miss my Jeep even though winters arent that bad here. I will probably cave and get another Grand Cherokee here soon anyway.

Fun game being played in the office this morning. I bought a 4' tall stuffed bear for my daughter for Valentines day today while on my way into work. I needed to store it somewhere, so I've been placing it on peoples desks. As they come in and stare at it in wonderment on who sent it, I give them the bed room eyes and flirt. Funny stuff watching the reactions lol. Probably won't be funny when I get to sit in with HR. Again.

Cost wise, an Upright Refrigerator that holds 2-3 carboys will also be at least twice the price of a chest freezer. I'll be using the chest freezer in a shed that is insulated and dry-walled, but it won't have constant heat/air unless I'm in there. I'll definitely have to watch the condensation level. Maybe even use towels and swap them every few days.

Coffee & water.

 

[SupervisingChildren]

Coffee.

 

[DrunkleJon]

Also, positives for the chest freezers are that the cold stays in when you open the door as it will all fall out when the door is opened, and in my opinion a freezer will probably be better insulated than a refrigerator.

Finished my coffee. I need a nap.

Look at DampRid ... easy way to control the moisture and keep mold at bay.

More coffee as my day of endless meetings rolls on...

This works pretty good, too. Fill a sock or two with it. Also, depending on the material of what you fill with it, it can periodically be dried in the oven and reused. View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1423576768.872207.jpg
