I have been reading a lot about turning a mini fridge into a fermentation chamber in order to ferment more then just 1 ale / lager at a time. I have seen many of them that can hold multiple carboys at the same temp, but that got me thinking.
The only problem I can for see is what if I want to use my temp controlled fridge for multiple brews but I have a stubborn lager in there for a few months?

The idea would be that I could do any combination of ales/lagers at the same time up to 3. Lets say you wanted to lager 2 beer, and ferment 1 ale. One love controller would be connected to 2 computer fans and the mini fridge itself set to lager temps. When the temp in the compartment drops, the mini fridge turns on and the computer fans kick cold air into each of the chambers. The second love controller is hooked into the ale compartment. When that temp drops, it just blows cold air into the compartment keeping it at mid 60's.
Anyone have any idea about the possibility of keeping these temps stable? Any flaws in my plan?
