Fridge for Fermenting and Conditioning

[liamtmt7]

Hi Jim, any chance you could send them on to me as well please mate. Not able to send you a PM with my email address.

Just sent.

Okay. I've tried to link it on Google drive. Try this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Byet5Y ... sp=sharing

Hope it works. It's a very simple idiot's guide but assumes some basic know-how and a bit of bodging. I am no expert, but have done it twice and both fridges are still working beautifully. One thing I didn't put in the guide is that I use the fridge's original shelves for putting barrels / fermenters / bottles in as height requires. There's enough gaps round the edges to aid airflow.

In my really tall fridge, I have also recently added a small fan at the bottom that kicks in when the heater turns on. Just helps to distribute the heat better... Just a really cheap extractor fan (£10) from Newley's plugged in to the same socket as the heater.

THIS IS ALL THANKS TO FORDPOPLAR who talked me through it the first time - thanks mate!

It has worked and it's a great guide. However there is a small typo: '...tube heater, 50kw should be enough'. Think that should be 50W unless you're building a beer cremator!

Oops! Thanks for pointing that out - I was on the money saying it was an idiot's guide (in the sense it was written by an idiot!). Corrected version is here:

Think he's going to need a bigger fridge!
