I have the same issue with my fridge. One day I'll rig up a two way temperature control setup to make it easy...

Speaking of which, Chad and I both recently bought one of these for that very purpose. I'll letcha know when it gets here.

What a great find!

So the cooling circuit would essentially control the power cord for the fridge itself. Where would the heating circuit go? To some sort of heating element mounted inside the fridge? So you would have temperature probe and power cord for a heater running into the fridge?

I also see there's no accomodation for the ground wires (most aquarium devices don't have them), so they would have to be wire-capped together externally.

I'm with the peanut gallery on this one: Let me know what you think of it.

Oh, and just so we don't digress too much...

I brought the carboy inside the house, and it's sitting comfortably at 68°. I chose a location next to an ouside wall so I can trepidly keep it on the cool side. Rack to the secondary and back in the fridge tomorrow morning.

And Kelly, in a coma for the last several days after an unfortunate bus accident, recently opened her eyes while Dr. Kitt "Blazer" Strongjaw was finishing some diagnostic, er, "testing". Immediately realizing that shadow puppetry was not for her, she vowed that as soon as she regenerated her severed left foot, she would pursue a career as a Las Vegas showgirl, just as long as ice cubes weren't involved.

Well here's what the wiring looks like from the Ebay link:

Here'sthe wiring I got from Homebrewtalk where they were talking about it.

I think when I do the build out in my closet I think the heating element will be one of these TetraFauna Aquatic Reptile Heater or something similar.
