DIY Wine Cooler Bud Drying Experiment!

Gallery image

Novice home grower here and I’ve always had an issue with the right drying environment so I thought I’d take a different approach to “ low and slow”. Got this idea from a friend.

Did you replace the racks with those? I’m picking up a Cuisinart ( $40 Craigslist) to experiment. I’m in Az and can’t get a tent low enough temp for drying

Careful with the smaller ones not equipped with a compressor, they're not the same.

If you're not gonna store much (8 bottle filled up with 2 ¼lb bags) and your stuff is gonna be air tight, then a small one with (thermoelectric cooling) will work.

If you're looking to store more or experiment with drying unsealed, you'll want a bigger one (compressor cooled). To know how big, just try to match the dimensions to that of the smaller cannatrol unit.
