What is the best way to keep my carboy warm if I put it in the garage? It is a bit cold here, about 45 F, and it gets colder at night. I don't have the option of adding a second fridge right now. Any ideas on how I can keep it fairly consistent at 60-65 F?

If you had $500 to spend on a new piece(s) of brewing equipment, what would you choose? As for myself, I can't seem to get a stainless steel fermenter out of my head.
