Default Application for conical

Do you think it's feasible to do a build like those shown, but with a full size fridge ? One that could house a 14gal conical ?

Sure, why not? But at that size, you are back to what the cost of building materials is versus another way to maintain temp.

In the case of a 14 gallon conical, you might be able to rig a propylene glycol chilling system for the price of the plywood/insulation to make a refrigerator sized ferm. chamber.

I already have both the fridge and the insulation (I have a bunch of 2 inch styrofoam that's used to ship "Dippin Dots" ice cream), and I don't know jack about glycol, except that it makes a mess if it leaks. I'm thinking of just building a 4 ft high insulated box that "connects" to the fridge. I'd put the conical on casters so I could just wheel it into the chamber.
