What are my options here? I want something small. Also if I put it in the garage, might need to worry about heating elements in the winter...

Suggestions?
 
I bought a wine fridge from a guy cheap off of Craigslist. I believe it's a Haier BC112G 30 bottle wine fridge. I built a simple "base" for it and had a neighbor who knows something about electrical to hack in a BrewPi controller to control the temps. The BrewPi controls that fridge and also controls a heater (not pictured that fits in the base in the bottom) that I built using a paint can and a light bulb (simple, cheap and effective!). Love this thing, works great...
