    I'm on day 3 and my garage smells like I'm living inside of a bud just from the fridge. I've never had a problem with terps being suppressed.

    Should I try to get the exact replacement part from Wine Enthusiast or just try to find a fan with similar specs from a computer repair store?

    So I picked up a used 28 bottle fridge on craigslist. When I picked it up he plugged it in for me and I was able to confirm it was working and cooling rather quickly. I got my dehumidifier installed and it was running for a few hours before it started making a high pitched sound and the temp...

    Better end product with a slow dry.

    This time I did a pretty decent wet trim but no initial drying. Last time I did a very rough wet trim but again with no initial dry.

    I'd be pretty concerned about only running the dehumidifier for 2 min every three hours. I started at 75% RH on Monday. My average is down to 70 after 5 days by stepping it down 1% each day which is exactly where I want to be. I have not had any freeze ups and on average it runs for 2 min on...

    I assume that is a compressor style. Is your humidifier on quite a bit?

    Interesting. I have not had any problems with Inc Bird or ACI. But I start at 75% RH with 1% buffer and reduce the RH setting by 1% each day. If I find the dehumidifier can't keep up I slow down and step it down 1% every two days until it can handle the 1% daily. I would love to do some...

    Does this unit have an elevated drain? Trying to figure out what people are doing to solve for the elevated drain in these 28 bottle systems.

    So I picked up a 28 bottle fridge from criagslist. It is the style with the drain that is and inch or two above the bottom of the fridge on a small ledge. I need one fridge for drying/curing and one for long term storage. I had planned on using the larger one for drying but that would mean I...

    Nice work @Hook Daddy! I don't see Amazon's algorithm picking those products together without all the work you put into this! I've been promoting it in a few FB groups. Its cool when you come across someone on groups that has already built one. I almost pulled the trigger on a new koolatron...

    I was looking for a new cooler as im building a second unit and I found this funny.

    I'm running out of room for my bagged goods which is a good thing. I'm thinking I could store full grove bags in a standard fridge. Do you think there would be any harm in that?
