So I'm fortunate to live in the midwest where we have poured basements. My brewroom is pretty much always somewhere in the 60's year round because my ductwork also runs through it so I can apply a little a/c or even heat if desired depending on season. I do have the desire however to get a fridge dedicated to homebrewing if for no other reason than to cold crash & lager.
My question is this...since by default, I have a room that maintains a near ideal temp for many beers/yeasts, should I just get the fridge and use the internal controls to adjust temp for my needs or should I go the whole Johnson Controls temp controller route? I'd rather not do the latter since I'm probably going to end up just buying a new, no frills fridge but if there are some significant reasons to go forward with modding the fridge, I'm not ruling it out either.
Thanks for any input.
