Since I'm having problems with temperature control, I figure I try brewing at 50 degrees, since thats the lowest setting on my fridge. I'm brewing NB's Fat Tire Clone, so any advice? Is there a cheap way to change the settings to a more beer comforting level?

50 is the lowest or highest setting?

I'd make lagers. Or you and buy a Ranco temp controller.
 
Ah, alright.
Ironic, my problem is getting the temperature up for once :\
 
You could make Kolsch, Alt, or many othr ales using German and "European" yeast strains. They like the lower temps, but still give the beer an ale character, just a little cleaner.
