Sadly no, the all grain bug has bitten me but alas I have no chest freezer and only one fermentation chamber.

The problem here is that you live in Florida. You need to move to Ohio where you can freeze your ass off while brewing, but a ferm chamber can be considered "outside" with the help from a ferm blanket lol

I found a 22 cubic foot fridge, the over/under kind for $75 bucks on craigslist, best ferm chamber ever after adding a little temp control

I moved from Ohio to Florida.  I don't see any problem here.  Get a dang fridge.

I made 2 3.5 liter starters for a split batch of Helles coming up. WLP-833 for one, the other got WLP-835 Lager X.
