Interested in this, too. Saw the ad in the latest Zymurgy. Intriguing but $300 for 1 or $200 each when you buy 3 is kind of pricey. But not needing a dedicated ferm chamber or swamp cooler setup would be nice.

I looked at his last year and decided to pass because:
- I believe you can only drop the temperature @ 30 F over ambient room
- Peltiers are notoriously inefficient when it comes to power consumption
- I'd have to drill out the existing blow-off hole in my Brew Bucket
- Cold crashing may not work as well due to the amount of tie needed to drop the temperature
- Anything using that tiny of a blow off opening scares the Bejeebus out of me
- Doesn't work as well with smaller batches as the cooling is dependent on the surface area in contact with the wort

If you're space constrained, then this might be an ideal solution.

For around $320 I ended up buying an Edgestar kegerator minus the tap setup and an Inkbird ITC-308.

Interesting concept!
