I picked up a non-working upright freezer over the weekend. Cost was $0 and the cabinet is in great shape.
I am going to remove the guts. I wasn't going to until I realized that the cooling coils were used as shelves inside the freezer.
Once the compressor and coils are gone, I am going to drill some holes in the top for power, control modules, and cooling module.
I am going to run the cooling for the unit with a thermoelectric cooler and a heat exchanger inside the cabinet. Control will be with a Black Cat PID controller.
I am going to run a small ultra-sonic vaporizer in the bottom of the unit for humidity regulation controlled by a humidity controller.
I do have some questions though that I am finding varying answers.
1) Humidity range for curing chamber. (60% - 90%)???
2) Temperature range for fermentation and curing. ( 40F - 100F) (4C - 38C)??
Thanks for any assistance....
