    1 or 2 fans? (Wine incubator)
    Hi...! Well, Yesterday I started building my incubator.
    Was a wine cooler, and I put away all the cooling gear. I'll have space for 3 clutches, 3 tuppers of 6qt
    I´m gonna put a fan on the top, but I don't know if I have to put another on the bottom. So my question is:
    Should I put 1 or 2 fans in this size?

    Here some photos...

    I have a wine cooler that can hold 8-10 clutches depending on how many water bottles I put on the bottom. I only use one fan and the temps are stable throughout. I still have some things to do before it's completely finished, but at least I know the temps are going to be stable.

    I can't see the photos but I generally recommend only one fan. When I built my Red Bull incubator I only put one fan (although it was a bit larger than normal) and I had a problem where my incubator was holding heat too well and the little bit of heat produced by the fan was raising the temp up, even when the thermostat was not applying heat.

    So that is my 2 cents. If you go with 2 fans just be sure they do not generate too much heat.
