new use for fermentor

[christhebrewer]

Found a new use for a fermenting fridge. I got 3 lobsters from a local fisherman yesterday and needed to keep them alive for a day or so. I filled a 33l bucket with sea water and put it in my big fermenting fridge (luckily just vacated by a pale ale). Set the temp to 10c and stuck in the aeration stone for a few minutes. Instant holding tank, dark too, happy lobsters! I am guessing 10c is about right for this?
I hope they don't get too fond of it cos they are going in the pot soon.

@ Shiny -  Add that to the "sell it to the missus" list!

If you're putting them in the pot, I'd lower the temps further. Then 2 hours before putting them in the pot stick them in the deep freeze, straight from deep freeze to pot and you're unlikely to hear them scream when they cook It's considered the humane method of dispatch. They don't freeze, but they get pretty close and go into a coma.
