Blichmann recommends controlling ferm. temps with a fridge, but I think it will be easier to use a chiller loop with an internal stainless coil or externally-wrapped coil. This way, I save on space and don't have to lift the unit out for cleaning. I haven't worked out the specifics of the chiller loop, but I'll either build its own loop with an old AC unit or use a recirc pump and a keg of chilled water.Why would I need a fridge for this when I never did for my buckets? My basement stays a constant 68F year round.
