Looking at all the fermentation chamber builds here the one things that seems to be missing is the ability to control the temp of more than one brew at different temps.
What I was thinking is do 3 chambers, with a temp controller hooked to a fan for each chamber after the fridge. The first chamber temp controller would be hooked directly to the fridge not a fan. The way this would work is that you would keep your coldest fermenting brew in the first chamber. Then the second coldest, then the warmest. Each chamber would be insulated with only a fan to move cool air from the previous chamber.
This way when chamber 2 needs to be cooled you would move air from the coldest chamber into the 2nd chamber. This would obviously result in a slight drop in the first chamber, so the fridge would turn on to keep that first chamber cold. The 3rd chamber would work the same way, drawing its cool air from the 2nd chamber.
This way you could have 2 different fermentation temps using 1 fridge, 3 temp controllers, and 2 fans. I have thought a lot about this and think it would work, but am open to any input others may have.
