Need a stand alone fermentation chamber. A DIY solution

Post by markjass » Tue Sep 10, 2013 03:22

My fermentation chamber come drying chamber is working well. However if I want to ferment more sausages while I am drying sausages I am a bit stumped. When I was experimenting with my design I found that I could get the humidity well above 90% and the temperature up to about 25 degrees C using a 300 w aquarium heater in a large plastic bin in the bottom of my fridge.

I have a couple of large chilly/cool/igloos/Eskimo bins that are redundant at the moment. May be I could use these as fermentation chambers. I could either put the aquarium heater in these or place the bins in my chilli bin. Monitoring the temperature would be easy. Previously I had the aquarium heater set on 25 degrees. Over time the ambient temperature would be the same as the water. All I would need to do is sort out a rack system for the sausages.
Any thoughts?
