burry fermenter under ground

[Mr.Spooky]

It cant be 120 in that shed all of the time , what does the temp drop to on a hot night ?

One way to see, would be to fill a barrel full of water, to see what it's temps average out to, over a couple nights and days

Thats doable but how much temp would you figure in due to fermenting 30 gallons?

take it from a few Aussies Shed temps of 120 for 55 gal barrels is no big deal. If it was a real problem I'd be looking at wooden barrels before I went all Percy Flowers with buried shit everywhere, I reckon ya over thinking it

Thanks ! Sounds like you know what you are talking about. Ill give it a shot then. On a side note, us Americans here in the south keep ALL KINDS of things burried here and there,,, just incase

If I want to know what the ground temperature is, I drive a pipe down as far as I want to measure, then drop a thermocouple down it.
