It might not look like much now but I'm going to use this broke a$$ fridge for my fermentation. It can hold 8 carboys or buckets no problem!!! I'll keep you all posted when I start the build.

That looks absolutely awesome!
So jealous right now.

Does it have two separate compartments or are they connected?
 
The 2 compressors are shot. So I need to either replace them or rig up some type of A/C unit or mini fridge. It has 2 separate compartments of equal size.

Due to the cost of the replacement compressors $500.00 each!!! I think I'm going to try and find two small window units so I can control both compartments with different temps. One for fermenting and the other for cold crashing or other things such as keeping kegs cold or lagers. Any one use the coolbot or would that be over kill for such a small space?

So I decided to go with the AC wall unit. Got one installed. Still need to insulate around the cut and clean up the inside.

Going to run a stc-1000+ on the top unit for fermenting and install a coolbot on the bottom for cold crashing and keg storage.
