I watched the Firetruck Brewery episode of Monster Garage last night. One interesting idea i saw, is how they maintained the temperature of the fermenter, by inserting a stainless coil, and pumping chilled glycol through it.
Which sparked an idea on lagering outside the fridge. Just drop in a coil in the fermenter similar to a mirical box coil, and pumpt thorugh some radiator fluid with a water pump and a resevoir sitting in the fridge or freezer. That way you don't need a whole fridge for lagering, and could even hook up a thermostat that turned the pump on and off.
Whadda ya think?
