If you lift the edge of the rubber gasket up around the edge of your door you’ll see were screwed in if you remove all of those screws you can take that plastic insert out of the door and put you some insulation in there and it will be flat your magnet will still be intact you’ll be able to close your door and take the glass shelf out and lower your fermenter down
I had thought of that, but decided against it. There are many ways to do this, but I wanted to alter it as little as possible, because 1) I'm lazy and 2) may want to use it as a minifridge later on. I also store the sanitizer mason jar in the door so I can keep a blow off tube in there when I get really strong krausen going.
I just bought a second hand fridge that's a little bigger. I have enough space to put in a Fermzilla with airlock or spunding valve if I want to ferment under pressure.
Excellent video. Since it's a beater refrigerator that's going to be used for a specific purpose it seems you could notch out those door shelves for clearance for the fermenter so you could sit it on the bottom - maybe put some tape or epoxy some plastic strips across the resulting slit holes. There's no electronics to worry about in the door.
I had thought of that, but I just didn't know if I was going to do a lot of lagering. So far, it works with no issue. A blow off tube was a good investment for this setup, so it's fine for now. I may do it in the future, but doubtful since it works well as is.
@@falconsfermentations2889 Would the Fermonster fit on the bottom of the fridge if you removed the shelving in the door ? I'm leery of relocating the freezer on mine. Afraid of breaking one of the tubes.
hello friend, nice and good job, one question, do you install a heater? Since the temperature is variable, what kind of heater did you use? Did you make a video? Thank you.
So you just set the fridge thermostat as low as it would go and then used the Inkbird to turn the fridge on and off ? I'd love to see some pictures of the blowoff system you used.
So what happens to the original temperature setting/thermostat? Do you disconnect? Set it somewhere in the middle? And wouldn't it be colder near the freezer component you bent down? Do you have video if the heating element you added later?
Hi, one question, the fridge is frost or not frost, because if you have a heater and the frezeer defrost, will drip and could be cause a short circuit.
Nothing impossible for this man
This is pretty neat, Falcon! Can't wait to see more videos from you!
More to come!
Thanks, I'll be finding one of those fridges, by the way you come over really well on the vid. Cheers
Excellent job ❤🙏👍🙏
Cool video
That is a really great idea!
Glad you think so!
Very cool!
Thank you.

The whole door liner could be taken off and done away with and if need be use some styrofoam for insulation or spray foam

How did you snap your fingers and have everything clean? 🤨… joking aside, solid video!
What size is the fridge ?.
Generic disapproving comment, but it's still engagement so the youtube algorithm picks it up
