So, I built this a couple months ago. Thought I would share. 4x6 walk-in that I use as a fermentation chamber. Built with an STC-1000 controller, a small A/C unit and a small heater. The best or maybe most unique thing about this project is the structure. I used 2" thick R-16 garage door panels. Visited the local garage door distributors dumpster numerous times to get some scratch and dent panels. For this size cooler you need nine 24" x 8' panels and two 21" x 8' panels, a 32" steel door, one 18' 1x4 PVC trim board, a couple tubes of silicone and some light gauge 3x3 galvanized angle for the floor/sill. I attached a few photos. Three months of use, works great. Able to keep the fermenter at 68 whether the temp outside is 90 or 20. I can crash the 60 gallon fermenter to 35 deg. in about 24 hours. When not fermenting I can keep kegs cool too.
