Happy, Hoppy Time

Post by Beer-lord »

Haven't had 2 fermenters going at the same time in quite a while. The smell when I open the chamber door is truly over powering. I wish I could fit in there and smell myself to death.

What size freezer is that? Looks just like the inside of mine. Didn't think I could fit 2 buckets in there though.

It's a cheap GE 7 cu ft freezer. Not rated high but lots of brewers use this and get quite a number of years out of it.
See the attached for spacing setups I found online.

I usually only have 1 in there at a time but put in 2 to keep moisture out when I have high changes in temps. You can barely see it but that little fan really helps and does its job. Those Eva-dry units are cheap and come in handy.
RedBEERd took his half home. For some reason, I don't think he trusted me to keep his here. :)

Oh I got mine......sitting at 66 degrees and smelling like what I'm sure Heaven must smell like.

Took about 12 hours for the 05 to take off and when it did, it really warmed up...got to about 72 before I could contain it. I'm sure it got high on it's on smell.
