I was fermenting in my temperature controlled basement. But now my mother-in-law is moving in and I've had to move my brewery out to the garage (It's cool, it's more manly out there :rockin. I live in Canada so the winters get really cold and the summers get fairly hot and humid. I need a fermentation enclosure that can both warm and cool the air so it will be constent all year round. I'm okay with DYI projects, but on this one, I'm at a huge loss. I don't even know where to start.
I have a mini-fridge, which I think I can re-purpose for the cooling portion (I also have a decent sized chest freezer). I have seen people use light bulbs to warm the chamber; but I use glass carboys so I don't see that working.
Even if I figure out how to cool and warm the chamber I'm not sure how I make the fridge cool the chamber when it needs to and the (insert warming apparatus) warm the chamber.
Can someone please help? If I need to be a paid member I will do that... I just need to come up with something within the next few months.
