Freezer/Fermentation "Hybrid"

[Sublime8365]

I did some searching and couldn't find a related topic.

I am soon going to be receiving an upright freezer for my house. I have roommates and we need some extra freezer space for food but probably don't need to utilize the entirety of the space.

Has anyone ever tried sectioning off part of a freezer to use as a fermentation chamber? Essentially I want to use the freezer for food and brewing. (I'll have to check the dimensions to see if this is feasible). Only looking for space for one bucket/carboy at a time.

I was thinking of some insulation board and a computer fan like many of the builds on this site. Any reason why this couldn't work? Would it be too cold?

Don't upright freezers have cooling coils built into all of the racks?

Cheers!

Yup, they do. I don't think this idea will pan out.
