I see such a project in my near future, although I am still thinking of using air cooling. Hmmm.Seriously, this was my retirement gift to myself and the project has given me a lot of pleasure (and the odd headache) along the way. For a brewing enthusiast, I’d recommend it!

Probably a small airco unit like you bought at first. I want to do multiple compartments for serving and fermenting so maybe something like yours would be better. Or perhaps two cooling units. Although for simplicity sakes I might be better off with 2 chest freezers.
Glad you enjoyed it, I was actually surprised you went for that one. Thats 7% its dangerously easy to drinkAfter a shitty week, I'm finally allowed a beer and after 2 of my ipa's which are beginning to get a bit of hop fade I've poured myself @samale cardamom saison.
He very kindly gave me quite a choice of beers to choose from and I chose the saison because I'm not familiar with the style.
Lovely pour with a nice thick head which lasts, a bit hazy, almost lemony look about it.
Aroma, a bit bready at first giving over to a peppery, spicy bouquet
Flavour, fruity, spicy, a little bready again leading to a peppery spiciness much like the aroma. Quite dry.
Light to medium bodied, well carbonated, acidic.
This is brilliant mate, I love it, I mean, I'm not sure what a saison should taste like but going by the bjcp guidelines it fits pretty well and I think this is fantastic. Would I buy this in a pub and then buy it again and again? Yes I certainly would.

Did you follow the recipe? Mine sits patiently on the shelf in the brew shed...waiting until 17th December when I shall be off for 17 days...I shall then try a sip...
