Hi guys, this may have been answered before but I've searched and found similar questions but not the exact info.
I'm considering buying a chest freezer to help insulate and maintain a decent fermentation temperature for my FV's. I'm recently moved house and the only space I can use now is my garage which the temperature fluctuates in quite wildly at times. Obviously not ideal for the fermentation stage.
As a side note, I'm terrible at DIY type jobs but I will probably enlist the help of an electrician friend.
I've read about the STC1000 controller which should keep the freezer under control but what is best to use as a heater?
Also, while chest freezers are more readily available compared to fridges, is there any downsides to trying to use one? More erratic temperature changes etc?
Any help would be greatly received.
