Today I put together a box in which to ferment my first brew. I plan to place frozen bottles of water into the box to keep the temperature down and keep a constant 20 degrees Celsius.
The box is made from two plastic crates and it is lined with foam and then covered with bubble wrap which our sofa came wrapped in. I have gaffer tapes it all together to try and ensure that it stays relatively water tight as I expect there to be a fair amount of water condensed off the frozen water bottles.
The photos I am including in this post show:
A) the boiler placed on a work bench with a rope and pulley above for use with the 'Brew In A Bag' method - this will be used to hang the grain in the bag to drain the wort out after it has mashed.
B) the fermenting box
C) the fermenting box open with the fermenter sitting inside the box
D) the boiler
Since I am posting from my phone the order of the photos may get a bit mixed up so apologies for that.
