So, a buddy of mine wants to get rid of his wine fridge and I am first in line. The thermostat appears to be broken, so I am going to fix that and install the fridge in my place.
Two questions:
1) Anybody had any success using a wine fridge as a fermenting chamber? I already took my measurements and it will fit ale pails and carboys just fine. [EDIT: There is a glass shelf, so the bottom is flat.] Also, since it is supposed to keep a constant temperature, it seems well suited for the task.
2) Any suggestions on what to do with the glass door? Beggars can't be choosers, so I don't mind it much, but since I will likely only have room for the fridge in my kitchen, it's not ideal, light-wise. I suppose I could just hang a makeshift curtain to protect anything that is in a carboy, but that seems less than ideal.
Thanks for your help!
