Im finishing off my new beer fridge incubator soon and imafter either a fan that i can slow the speed down with or a fan specially for incubators. I want this because im getting a 3/4°f difference from the top to the bottom of the fridge. So any ideas or even if anyone has one i can buy or knows where i can get one i'd be grateful

I have managed to get my fan to work. I bought an impedence dimmer switch and a 4 inch 240v 15watt fan with a neon and have mounted it at the top of my beer fridge. It is suspeneded with a couple of self made l brackets. And it seems to be working. I bought a double thermometer so its the same one at the top as the bottom so lets see if i get an exactly equal temp distribution top and bottom. Lil test run now so i can tweak if needed. Ill post pics if it seems ok

How'd you get power past the door seal? Did you jigger something up from the internal light socket or are you just not worried about the seal being perfect?
