Less than a year ago we had 2 refrigerators, one upstairs and one in the basement. The basement fridge had some food kept in the freezer, but saw little other use. Since beginning brewing last January, we now have:
The same 2 refrigerators except the basement one is now used for cold crashing, bottled beer storage, yeast storage, and mugs - no food now
A deep freeze that I bought to use as a keezer which ended up being to small for 6 cornies so we just kept it and use it for food now
A chest freezer for fermenting
A chest freezer for serving beer (the keezer).
So a total of 5. The really crazy part, it's not enough. I'm now making room in the garage to build 2 cold rooms (planning on ~6'x3'x7' per room at this time). One for fermenting & one for storage/conditioning.
So how much cooling space has been added to your home due to brewing?
