    Hi Guys,

    I have a nice little cabinet in my basement to store my beer. It's currently holding 30 large format bottles, 30 cans and about 70 12oz bottles.

    The temperature has been holding around 60 the last few months, but I would love to get it down another 5-10 degrees.

    Has anyone had any luck cooling down a cabinet? I've build media storage cabinets in the past with fans, but they only worked to expunge hot air caused from the units inside, beer doesn't give off that heat :slight_smile:

    Thoughts or experiences?

    Cheers!
    Tyler

    It might not be worth the effort to cool it lower than 60? 60 should be a fine temperature if you are storing them to age...?
