Pimped My Fermentation Fridge

Post by MonsieurBadgerCheese » Sun Apr 09, 2017 12:10 pm

Greenhouse heater in the bottom. Fan in top. Temperature controlled by Inkbird ITC308 (temperature probe inside thermowell in Chronical). Fridge thermostat relocated to external wall of fridge (room temp) to 'trick' it into cooling as low as zero, if necessary, for cold crashing (previously minimum temperature was 5 deg C).

Edit: I see you're on to that already! See you on the other side.

Looks to me like the FV is just about to reach Space-Docking. All you need is Jean michel Jarre playing in the background

This looks great. Is the light just for looks or is it a germ killing UV?

Haha that's awesome, looks very psychedelic!

If you haven't seen these already, you could checkout WS2812 lights, if you want them to change colour too ;)

I used them on a Christmas tree last year - https://www.anfractuosity.com/projects/ ... tmas-tree/

Just for appearance. No useful purpose whatsoever! :)
