My basement is generally pretty cool in the summer (between 60-68F) and in winter about 5-10 degrees cooler. I live in a 100 year old house in Toronto if that helps guesstimate what the basement is like (probably similar to Chicago / Detroit in terms of home construction and weather).
So I'm in a spot where sometimes my fermenting brew needs to be cooled a bit while other times it needs to be a bit warmer. I'd like a solution that takes up as little space as possible. Would setting a small fridge to say 50-55F and then having a heating pad or belt with a temperature gauge set to my fermentation temp work well?
It might not be energy efficient which, frankly, I don't care but if there's a better way or people with similar situations and other solutions I'd like to hear them
