I have an old (I mean old) upright freezer that I've been thinking about using in the basement as a fermentation chest. My basement runs around 55-60 in the winter, so I'm thinking that a light bulb triggered by a Ranco or Johnson controls would probably be enough to keep it fairly steady at 68 or so for ales. Anyone done this?
I'm very wary of space heaters, plus I think it would fluctuate more that way, since the heater would only run a very short time before reaching the set point.
