I've been contemplating this for awhile and want to make sure I'm not missing anything. I've done a few searches but haven't found anybody that's done exactly this.
I have a closet off the garage that I'm wanting to turn into a fermentation/cellaring closet. Living in the South, the temperature swings wildly so I'm wanting to air condition and heat (Summer/Winter) the closet to control the temperature for fermentation and also be used as a beer cellar. I've thought about using an old fridge, but it won't give me the space I'm wanting.
Here is my current setup and the proposed location of a window air conditioner.
My questions and concerns are:
Thanks.

Here is my current setup and the proposed location of a window air conditioner.
My questions and concerns are:
- Using a temperature controller, will I be able control the temperature enough, limiting the temperature change to a couple degrees?
- Should I be concerned about venting the A/C into the garage?
- Should I be concerned about the water heater being in the same room (HW in the diagram above)?
- Am I missing another reason not to do this?
Thanks.
