I acquired a fridge from freecycle yesterday that's gone out into the shed. I will be using a stc 1000 and tube heater to control temp for fermenting in there. was also planning on getting a few more and setting up in the same way so 2 fv can be fermenting and also 2 for conditioning and serving from in the summer through a beer engine.
my main concern is the power draw, the shed supply is on a 20 amp breaker.
if the stc's keep turning the fridges on and off the initial higher draw of a fridge will keep happening when ever needed so would it be a problem to have 4 running in there. I am planning on moving from biab to 3 vessel and brewing in the shed instead of the kitchen. ill be using a Tesco element for the hlt in a fv, converting a coolbox to a mashtun then continuing to use the buffalo boiler for boiling the wort. will it be a problem using the buffalo in the shed whilst the fridge or fridges are running? thanks
