Hi all,
I have built a curing chamber using an old glass door shop fridge that is humidity and temperature controlled. Since it's really cold where I live, the fridge is not plugged in as the humidifier and the lamp inside stays on most of the time.
Currently, I am fermenting a batch of sausages at around 23 C with 90% humidity. My question is about the state of the curing chamber. It is literally soaked and there is water on the floor of the fridge. I can see condensation at the top, and the water drops to the floor.
When fermentation process is done, I will take the RH down to 85% but I don't see that being much more different in terms of the amount of water inside the fridge.
I have a few questions.
1) Is this normal ? As in, is 90% RH supposed to be this way ?
2) And if so, how does your fridge cope with this? I don't think having this much water inside the fridge would be good for electronics etc.
Thanks,
