[Cheese] Wine coolers

[Frey, Chris (C.P.)]

Hi Brian - in the homebrewing world there are several "controllers" that
you can purchase that will help hold your fridge at whatever temp you
are seeking. I had one from Johnson Controller (here is a link through a
reputable homebrew supply shop - no affiliations, yada yada -
http://www.williamsbrewing.com/CONTROLLER_P161C100.cfm ) that allows for
controlling the temp from 20o-80o - you plug the fridge into the control
unit and stick the probe into the fridge - door closes easily on the
wire.

Howdy listees.
I would like to use an old fridge I have in the garage as a "cellar" but

can't get the damn thing to stay at 55 degrees.  Wants to be 40 or so.
So I 
have my first couple of batches aging in my wine cooler but the lowest I
can 
get that thing is 48.  Will 48 degrees be too low?  I have water in it
to 
keep it somewhat humid.
Also, anybody ever use "Milkman" dry milk?

Thanks

Brian
