So, I found a $50 wine fridge on craigslist yesterday. Score!

It has an adjustable thermostat, but no readout. On max it gets down to ~45-47, so if I want to lager or cold crash I will have to rig it up, but for general fermentation, I am in love!

That is the SWMBO's 2 gallons of hard cider in there now.
 
Kinda looks like maybe there's not enough headroom for an airlock. Not enough headroom in my mini fridge without altering the hump and moving the compressor. It's much easier to use a blow-off tube.
 
Yep, about 2 inches too short for the airlock. If you look at the right side, its only an airlock on the tube :)
