Oh and about the fermenters fitting in mini fridges. Both of my chambers are mini fridges. The first one is a 4.4 CuFt freezerless model that had no trouble accommodating either of my fermenters after I removed the shelves from the door. I paid more for it than I should have though.
The second one I got for $25 because I noticed it sitting in someone's driveway and asked if they'd be willing to sell it. Of course I had no idea if a fermenter would fit into it, but I figured I could use it for cold storage if nothing else. It was a model with a freezer in it, but it turns out that there's no significant difference between a freezer model and a freezerless model other than the evaporator is turned up into a shelf that takes up the top quarter of the internal space in the fridge. All I had to do was carefully bend the shelf down so that it was against the back wall of the fridge, remove the door shelving, and install small block of wood in the floor to keep my bucket from leaning into the door, and I had another chamber that could hold either of my fermenters.
