Hi,
I have recently just got back into brewing and have considered getting an old fridge to turn into my fermentation fridge so that I can maintain the temperature. I currently am using a cupboard in the laundry, which keeps temps within about 2-3 degress of what I want.
As I do not have an old fridge to dedicate I am currently on the hunt. I am thinking of getting a Bar Fridge as I do not want a full size fridge. I think I will get another bar fridge down the track to use as my keg fridge.
If I was going to get a bar fridge what capacity should I be looking at getting to store my 30L Fermenter? Is a 120L normally big enough??
I have also come across a few wine coolers. Are these a good idea for fermentation fridges? I guess with the wine coolers it already has the temp control built in (so I then don't have to install a FridgeMate).
Though not sure if you can remove the wine racks?
Thanks for your help.
Cheers,
Sam.
