Nice improvements !!

I reckon if you made the doors for tha fan in/out, out of nice light styrofoam, the fans would probably just blow them open and they woudl fall back under their own weight.

In the meantime I have come up with another solution that allows (will allow) me to use one Non temp-controlled fridge to ferment 2 different beers at different temps (1 lager, 1 ale) and also use the fridge as a keggerator and/or a lagering chamber.

Its still in testing phase, but looks promising at the moment.

There are fans available (not computer fans, but designed as extraction fans for the building of bathrooms, etc) that have the 'door' built in. Open when fan turned on, closed when fan turned off.

Expensive though...

BTW, I changed the in fans to the bottom and the out fans to the top because you were right, cold air does fall and by filling the fermentation chambers with air from the bottom and drawing off the warm air at the top, I think it will all work more efficiently. So even if it wasn't what you meant, you still improved the whole thing.
