Gif brewery algorithm7/10/2023 I initially connected the two refrigerators to their own Johnson Control A419 controllers, but was never truly happy with them. I didn’t realize how awesome using a glass door refrigerator as a fermentation chamber would be-being able to visually see active bubbles in the blow off container is a nice luxury. I installed casters onto both refrigerators to make it easier to shift beers around during primary or secondary fermentations. It turns out, the same glass door refrigerators that you buy a soda out of in a convenience store, True GDM-12, were a perfect fit for the garage wall and the conicals. In order to park a car in our garage, purchasing the correct size refrigerator fermentation chambers was key. Having purchased two 14.5 gallon conical fermenters, I knew that my garage was the next logical space to spill into. When I received everything, I barely had enough room for the brew stand, kettles, work table and a commercial sink. This same laundry room would later become what is now my 20-gallon HERMS electric brewery.Īfter months of carefully measuring, drawing and speculating, I made the plunge and ordered my system. My previous hobby consisted of building synthesizers for my music studio located in a 5’x10’ converted laundry room. After several extract beers had been brewed by my wife and her father, I decided to join in the fun. I didn’t always want to homebrew, but always enjoyed drinking great craft beer with my wife, her family and friends.Ībout four years ago, my wife and I purchased her dad (a chemical engineer) a basic homebrew kit for Christmas. I am a perfectionist and take hobbies to their extreme. My success in homebrewing comes from my desire to create and build things.
