My 15 year old chest freezer finally died and I just got a shiny new one. I would really like to prevent the inside from rusting out. Anybody have any tips to keep my new fermentation chamber looking good? I just finished calking the interior in hopes that it will slow down the rusting process.
Damp rid or electric dehumidifiers. Damp rid works best, but it's a constant expense, the plug in crystal based dehumidifiers work ok, peltier based dehumidifiers run 110 which means another point where the lid gasket is opened

I'm sure that is where I heard this.
I considered these ^^^, but I liked the idea of being able to do it outside without the oven on. At the time I was living in Dallas and using the electric oven was a double whammy when considering the AC usage needed to fight it back.
