My first (major) DIY in the hobby.
40 dollar fridge from craigslist.
30 dollars in insulation.
30-40ish in wood
50ish in thermostat(s)
I'm really happy with it. Easily fits 2 6.5g carboys and 3 5g carboys. I could squeeze at least one more in. Second thermostat kicks on the 110v fan to cool the middle fermentation chamber. Right now using chamber 1 for primarying a lager, chamber to for primarying an ale, and the third is ambiently around 70 degrees (2 degrees under the basement air) for the secondaries.
Woot!
