After going through the BS of trying to keep my Belgian Dubble we brewed last weekend under 20,
And with the days already hitting 32, i decided i better start knocking up something to keep my fermentation temps under control.
I had a few sheets of cold room panel i had been saving for a while so i grabed some aluminium angle and set to it..
The whole thing is made out of 75mm thick coldroom panel and the internal dimensions are 2100mm long X 400mm wide by 650mm high.
it will comfortably hold 6x 30litre fermenters with a movable partion to seperate lagers from ales.. the moveable partion allows me to have any combination of number of fermenters for lagers or ales..
The plan is to use cold air pumped in to each end controlled seperatly by 2 fridgemates.
I have it lightly rivetted together and hopefully will have it complete by the end of the week.
The smell of Renae's Brewing wafting out of the shed signalled Beer o'clock.. :icon_cheers: so its down tools untill tommorrow..
Here's some pics of where i am up to..
It looks a little grubby (because it is) but it should clean up ok once i'm done...
