I live in North Australia where our tropical climate usually offers us 6 months of 32+ Degree C days at 60%-75% relative humidity
I bought a large wine fridge (72 bottle Thermo Elec), set it to 18C and it holds a stable temp 90% of the time (It might drift up to 19 Degrees on a 38 Degree day)
I filled it with a shit tonne of Heartfelt beads and it holds a stable 65%/18C 90% of the year
It works pretty well
conversation was an issue initially but I just unplugged the drain hole and its been fine and stable ever since

Apologies to the US based readers, I'm not sure how to convert C to F, but you get the idea

Thanks Pete, Thanks Polar Bear! The wineador is something I've been strongly considering. Initial cost may be close to a locker, (fridge, RH beads, smokes to fill it) but at least with the wineador, that's likely a one time investment, whereas I'd be having to spend $500 every year for the locker.... Plus not to mention I wouldn't have to deal with the guilt of walking in to my B&M with a box or pack acquired elsewhere to store on their premises.

As for Celsius to Farenheit, it's something like 1C=2.2F. Or maybe 2.5F. I forget, haha. Thank god for online conversion tools!
