Hi guys,
Have just bought a second hand fridge specifically for temperature controlling my fermenters (have also ordered a STC1000). The one I bought was supposed to be 157cm tall, perfect I thought to fit to 2 x 30lt fermenters (inc airlocks). Problem is, I got it home measured up and I was short changed 20cm - its only 137cm, which gives me about 108cm of useable space. (Measured my 30lt fermenter & airlock to sit about 60cm tall)
So it has got me thinking, I can probably fit 2 fermenters in there very slugly, but will have to modify the airlocks (so they don't stick up too tall)... Or I could look at just putting a 60lt fermenter in...
Is brewing in 60lt fermenters (i.e. double kit batches) much different than brewing single batches in 30lt fermenters???
Cheers,
Droopy
