After spending a good month trying to decide where I wanted to build out a fermentation chamber, I decided on the roomy section of my crawlspace. All the wood I'm using is re-purposed from shelving ripped out at work to save on costs.
I started with mounting the back braces to the wall with cross pieces mounted. (putting in a full length shelf for storage and future expansion options.)
Got most of the framing finished up yesterday except for the side the fridge will be going.
Today's project is to get a power line ran and box installed along with caulking the gaps in the frame.
Fridge has been ordered and will be arriving on Wednesday. I got a great deal on one from Best Buy for $85 after failing to find a used one for a fair price.
For heat, I'm planning on using a small space heater for heat and for circulation I'm going with a 5in desk fan. I might experiment with using a heat pad with the space heater.
I have left over 2in foam board sheets from when my crawl space was sealed which I plan on starting to cut and install on Tuesday.
I'll keep everyone interested updated on the progress!
