Question about buying a dedicated fermentation fridge. I dropped about $250 on a used mini fridge and an inkbird controller. Some friends say it's a game changer for consistent temps, others think it's a waste when a closet corner works fine. What's your take?

Honestly, that setup sounds exactly like what I did last year. My apartment has wild temperature swings, and using a closet corner gave me really inconsistent brews. Having that dedicated fridge with the inkbird let me nail a specific temp for a whole fermentation, and the difference in my final beer was huge. For me, it was totally worth the money for the control.

My old apartment was the same way.
