Autofilling Humi for Walk In

wolfandwhisky · 06-05-2010, 01:39 AM

I'm completely ignorant to the logistics of large scale cigar storage - but my overwhelming can-do attitude and addictive personality are driving me into building a walk-in humidor.

Fortunately, I know a gent who is knowledgeable on the wood/sealant side of this. Unfortunately, I'm not sure where to turn for humidification.

Here is the thought:

Right above the room that would be converted to a humi runs the cold and hot water lines. I figure I can put some type of split line on the cold water line - maybe a hose bib or similar...

This line could then be managed with some type of control that adds water to an active humi system as required.

I'm not sure what type of humi or equipment I would need - and searching through old posts didn't find me anything (although I may have missed it - feel free to point me to the appropriate link).

So - has anyone done this or know how? I could do one unit with the water line feeding it, or daisy chain two but I think that might be overkill. The space is 5'x6'x10'.
