In order to have a keezer in the house, SWMBO has declared it has to be built into (disguised into?) a beautiful bar. The bar must be ~7' long, ~countertop height, thin enough to fit through a door, cypress or reclaimed wood, and she wants a granite top. The freezer is an Igloo 10.6cu ft and...

Bought questionable goods off craigslist. SWBO isn't going to be as excited as I am...

Recovering attorney now doing business development.

So it's not just me...

Add me to the list... I seem to have bought two gorgeous T-Mobile phones for someone in a different state.

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale in a can. The can is nice because you can take it to the beach or on the boat, easy in coolers, and when drinking all day sometimes staying away from glass isn't a bad thing... at least with my buddies.

My money is on it being just fine.

That is an awesome, awesome thread! Thanks for sharing.

I'm jealous of y'alls setups. In a 1500sq ft house with no basement or garage, space is premium. It's not possible to hide a fermentation chamber... Ah well, the things I do for beer.

I'm in Pensacola.

Yeah, I've commandeered the guest bathroom tub for a swamp cooler but clearly I need to go the fermentation chamber route.

Nice build! And thanks for the tips about oxygen tanks... Have been considering buying a welding O2 tank.

My condolences... But on a selfish note, I'm really excited to see what you come up with! Subscribed!

Thanks for sharing! I keep checking craigslist for a great deal on a chest freezer for those reasons.

I've only brewed a few batches but my understanding is that you can add dry yeast directly, although it may be better to rehydrate it first. Regardless, you got fermentation so you should be good! Can't imagine the angle is bad unless it's interfering with the air lock or something... I guess...

TAK, interesting question... Hope someone has an answer.

Sounds like maybe the fridge should be the kegerator and then get a chest freezer and temp controller for fermentation if I'm set on using the freezer above the fridge... Wiring in a temp controller to separate the fridge from the freezer might be too much trouble. Thanks for all the responses!

I've come to realize that brewing and living in Florida requires a fermentation chamber. I'd like to pick up a used full size fridge with freezer and just use the fridge as the chamber. Will the fridge stay warm enough for ales without using a temperature controller? I'd like to use the freezer...

I've really been enjoying a Saison from an extract kit. All the big suppliers have them. It was nice not having to worry about cooling the FV!

I'm trying to figure out where to mount a keg in mine. I really only use one livewell... SWMBO is not impressed.
