Nothing overly exciting here but it works:

I only wish it was bigger so I could hold 2 carboys. It is a 5 cu ft chest freezer connected to a 2 stage ranco, with a fermwrap heating pad taped the inside wall. I put a bucket of sanitizer on the shelf and use a blowoff tube, but an airlock fits too.

This is a Igloo Cube. Nothing fancy.

I use a temp probe into the carboy. Before that I used a temp probe taped to the carboy with foam on top of it to control temp fluctuations.

I got a glass door fridge, mainly because I couldn't find anything else big enough to fit my fermenter.

Transferring to secondary...

I have this also but it's too far from the brewery to use, I would love to get 3 batches going at once though...

Monster,
Thanks for the postt. I dig the fermentation vessels, I saw those in another post. Do you have a temperature controller and/or a fan?

No fan, I use a temp controller and a 100w light bulb on cold nights.
