For the overall construction I used 2x6s and 2x10s. I ran a long screw through the back wall and insulation. I used 2 inch wooden dowels to hold the cold plate.

While the Hot Weather Brew Buddy works great when brewing Ale in the summertime it wont give you the low temperatures or precise temperature control required for a good Lager. Lower temperature means that it takes a longer time to get the pH drop but that time can also be extended safely.

A full-size frost-free fridge 60-100 on Craigslist. I think the InkBird controllers work super well especially for the price point. All you really need to do is to fit an ink bird link to Amazon unit to a conventional chest freezer or fridge and you are ready to go.

A temperaturehumidity controller 50-100. The fridge insulation is suited to holding a temperature that solves one part of it. Make sure to seal the corners with caulk.

Too little time and the pH will not drop enough which can be unsafe as well as impact on the flavor. The cycle continues keeping the temperature inside the beer in a tight bound. Build a Fermentation Chamber The basic idea of a fermentation chamber is to control the temperature of yeast while they are active.

This will make a huge im. The obvious drawback about this is the work involved. Taking the room temperature of 18-24C as the baseline the chamber needs to support the following temperatures.

The green line is the chamber temperature and the red line is the target temperature. Fermentation chamber with temperature and humidity controller It is important to have the right amount of time for the fermentation. As you can see from the pictures I used weather proofing foamtape and weather stripping to give it a full tight leak resistant seal on the seams of the collapsible sides.
