like alot of other people ferm temps are getting the best of me. seem a simple fridge with a thermostat is the way to go. dose anyone know of any fridges that fit a 6 gallon better bottle? or what the minimum inside deminsions need too be? i would just measure my better bottle but i dont have it with me.

the Haeir NuCool 2.8 c.f is pretty much the smallest footprint fridge that will fit a 6 gallon better bottle or carboy. it's a nice little fridge, and has been working damn well for me since i picked it up off craigslist.

i had an extra digital johnson controller. just plugged it in, cut a small hole in the rubber seal on the door and ran the probe through it. 30 seconds and i was fermenting at 64*.
total cost was ~75 for the NuCool on Craigslist, and ~95 for the wired digital Johnson controller

In mine, I cut all of the shelves off of the door (had to keep the frame of the plastic the shelves were molded in to so that the door sealed properly) and my 6 gallon sits in front of that hump perfectly.

Yeah, that is pretty cool! If I was in the market for a new ferm chamber I'd look into that.
