Fermenter Chiller Project
Posted: Thu Aug 16, 2007 10:38 am
I've recently started a project to build a fermenting chiller with a solid-state peltier chiller and what I hope will be a relatively tight temperature control. The enclosure will be basically a 2" thick rigid styrofoam box with the peltier unit mounted in a sidewall. Box should be about 30" square by 32" high - more or less. Air lock will be on outside. There will be two small muffin fans - one to remove hot air from outside of peltier and one to move cool air inside box. Temperature control will be by a sensor pressed against outside of bucket [and insulated from cooling chamber air]. This unit should also be reversible - i.e. will heat in winter if needed.
