Ive got a large chest freezer @ home, and was wanting to use it to lager my...well lager.
Im fermenting in my fridge with a fridgemate already, but I havent got money for another temp controller (just yet) to set it to the 2 deg. i want to lager @.
I was wondering if i could just plug it in to a simple timer i have here and say switch it on / off every hour or so to do the same thing (just not as accurate)
How long do u guys think would be enough as to not freeze the beer (not literally) but enough to keep it cold? Chest freezer is in my shed, and theres a few hot days coming up...
Say 15mins every hour?
opinions??
