So why temperature control? It offers the ability to produce consistant beer year round while also targeting certain esters when higher temps are required. There are many different ways you can make one, some being more complicated than others, but I'll outline the basic idea so you can come up with a design that meets your budget and requirements.

The basic idea of a fermentation chamber is to control the temperature of yeast while they are active. This is not to say that excellent beer can't be brewed without one, but in my case, I was limited to the ambient temperature of the basement, which is quite different in the month of January than it is in August.

Great Post! I'd love to hear more about the size of the chambers and look forward to the parts list. Have you considered using glycol for more cooling power? You could probably mount a window a/c and a reservoir on the cart below the chambers.

Thanks Erik! I'll try to get the chamber size and parts list up this weekend. I did use add a bottle of glycol but it didn't seem to make much of a difference. It was also very expensive so I didn't want to fill the whole loop with it unless I knew it would work better.
