As I struggle over keeping my fermentation temps cool I am currently coveting a large chest freezer where I can put my fermentation buckets, set at 62F or so. I was wondering what other home brewers wish they had?
It is never ending battle.
Once you get second freezer/fridge you will want the third one.
One for fermenting,
Other for lagering and
third for serving
I have two friends that converted old fridges into walk-in coolers in their basements. I guess my dream would be a basement to expand the brewery. Truth be told, Mancave/ brewshed. I have the space, just not the capital…
+1 to the mobile brewstand, Brutus 10 style. Currently brewing with one turkey fryer, slowly beginning to aasemble the components for my own Brutus 10, which should greatly increase productivity, since the wife isn’t a fan of me brewing inside.
For me, short of a small walk-in cooler, a commercial “True” Coke fridge would probably do it for me; mainly for cold conditioning since I already have a decent fridge I could dedicate for serving. Right now it pulls double duty and hence, serves my drafts at a considerably colder temperature than I like.
Now I want another bigger chest freezer for fermenting in…so then I can use my current one for a keezer. Then I want six perliks and to build a 2x8 collar.
