I have a fine deal pending on an old chest freezer, and with the thermostat installed I was figuring on just setting it at about 58 degrees and using it as my all-purpose miniature root cellar. Plenty of room for two buckets of lager or kolsch ale, plus some sausages or hams hanging, plus a crock for the sauerkraut, etc.
Question is: will they all get along with each other? Will the fumes from the ales and beers have some kind of horrible effect on the sausage? Even the most modest of cellars has some sort of air exchange, if only from people walking around in it. Here I'm sticking them in a hermetically sealed closet. Is this a bad idea...?
