Re:Refrigeration…Been thinking

[Andy Starvaski]

Hey guys, I went through the same thing about a year ago….don’t know if you saw my posts at:

http://www.drybagsteak.com/forum/18-general-dry-aging-questions/1052-choosing-a-refrigerator

I was told by the pros who do home brewing and use these dorm fridges for kegs, that the cheap-o dorm fridges don’t maintain a very consistent temperature. It was strongly recomended to me that I purchase a Ranco thermostat control which would maintain a very precise temperature. I did and I have good luck with it and pretty happy with it.

If I had to do it all over again, and had the space, I would get an upright full freezer from a scratch and dent store (Sears Outlet?) and wire a Ranco thermostat controller to it. This would give you a lot of fride space for a good price (for some reason the upright freezers are significanlty less price than a smilliar sized fridge).

Good luck!
