DIY Fermenter

[Jayjay]

Hi everyone I’ve been tinkering with this idea for a bit. This is an esp32 controlled fermenter. I just put in a 1/4 pound bright Virginia leaf as a test. The enclosure is 3d printed.
Any ideas to improve are welcomed.

Nice neat setup, I love it!

I have an update. I had to spend some dialing in the program. I have it stable 69%rh and 108F. It’s been a week holding steady I haven’t smelled any ammonia and some of the leaves are still crispy and some are pliable? I rotate the pile everyday. I don’t if this has anything to do but the heater is below the leaf by an 1” or so. Maybe to close to heater? Any thoughts on setup or just be patient haha. Thanks everyone.

the heater is below the leaf by an 1” or so.

That seems quite close, since the fan is just below the lid. What are you using as a heater?

Yeah thats does sound close. I use a larder fridge fermenter and the lowest leaves are about 5-6 inches away
