I own 2. Looking to find a 2 door back bar cooler, which will make my life complete.
 
I said 4, but 1 is broken, 1 is in my kitchen (no beer allowed...not my rule) and another is a chest freezer which needs to be returned (compressor never turns off) so I guess only 1 for brewing :(
 
3, but I only use 2.

same with me, i don't like spending the money on the kWh's....so i only turn it on when i get the urge to brew 'something' (lol), with lager yeast...
 
We have two in the house for food and milk storage. I have a beer fridge in the garage. There is a small fridge in the barn for medications. I have a small one downstairs in storage and one that serves as a fermentation chamber. We also have two freezers: one for our food and one to store meat for sale. Oh, and I also have a fridge at work.
 
One side-by-side fridge/freezer in the kitchen, one over/under fridge/freezer in the basement, for beer and grain storage. I have a chest freezer in the garage, set up as a ferm chamber, and since I never use it below freezing, then technically, it's another refrigerator. And 2 mini fridges, but those are summertime use only. So 5 total.
 
Depends on how you look at it. There are 2 refrigerators here but my Brother owns the place. I have a chest freezer here that is mine. I also have a refrigerator that was converted to a kegerator and a minifridge in storage. Along with another chest freezer. I use the chest freezers as fermentation chambers. So I guess I own 2.
 
I was thinking freezers counted too...

lol, now i feel intimidated! i thought three made me a 'real' man! now i'm thinking i need a little dorm one that will hold a 2.5 gal keg, so i can throw it in the car when i go somewhere...
 
1 regular fridge that is mostly beer kegs and tank in bottom and mostly hops in the freezer portion, 1 chest freezer for finished beer keg storage, 1 chest freezer for carbonating beer kegs, plus a glycol chiller for fermentation.

The kitchen fridge rarely has beer in it.
 
I'm semi retired and divide my time between 2 residences.

At the farm we have 4 refrigerators (antique beer fridge in the shop, antique kegerator/ingredient fridge in the basement, 80s vintage backup/beverage fridge in the laundry room and modern, French door fridge/freezer in the kitchen). Three freezers (one old chest type in the garage, one old upright in the laundry room, one newer upright in the basement). We're in the middle of nowhere and have to stock up when we're in town, plus, we buy meat on the hoof and have it custom processed (one whole beef and one whole hog a year; buy once, cry once).

At the city house we have a side-by-side fridge in the kitchen, a mini fridge for beer in the laundry room and a small chest freezer in the laundry room.

So, we have 10 refergeration appliances. Do I win a prize?
 
Well I have 1 fridge in the kitchen for food, 1 in the garage for carbing and storing kegs, and 1 kegerator in the kitchen, so 3 fridges. But I also have 1 upright freezer to ferment in and 1 chest freezer in the garage also for lagering my kegs when I make lagers. So 5 appliances total if you count freezers. I'm about to get a wine cooler/fridge also to use as a cheese cave so........

Bar fridge.
Cellar fridge.
Garage extra storage fridge.
Fermentor fridge.

My wife has given me shot for over a decade. It was worth it for this moment. [emoji6]
 
This thread though owns zero polls.

?? seems like this thread is proof, that like iso-baric sub-woofers..homebrewers are keeping fridge factories at full production! :cask:

edit: and if i'm misinterpreting, what about 1?

edit #2: i thought zero would be funnier then "live in the ant-artic and i just put **** out side", lol :mug:

In the brewery I have two Craig's List fridges, a "$50000 fridge"*, and a keezer.
I think I'm all set :D

Cheers!

5 fridges / freezers:
  • 1 Kitchen side by side fridge/freezer (2 shelves dedicated to my yeasts, also used for cold crashing yeast)
  • 1 Upright freezer as ferm chamber
  • 1 Upright freezer as Keezer (5 kegs, 5 taps)
  • 1 Top freezer fridge (this is my "warm fridge" as it doesn't cool anymore)
  • 1 large Chest freezer (Hop storage and food)
 
5 total fridges/freezers.

1 in the kitchen
2 mini-fridge fermentation chambers
1 fridge in the garage for bottled beer and hop storage
1 chest freezer converted into a 6 tap keezer
 
I've got 5, or 6 if you include the food one in the house.
  • Fridge-freezer converted to Kegorator, holds 4 kegs and a shelf for yeasts and bottles, only 2 taps. Ice in the freezer.
  • Fermentation fridge-freezer. Electrics have been hacked so the fridge is temp controlled and the freezer still works normally. Hops go in the freezer.
  • Another old fridge freezer for my second fermentor
  • Fridge converted to kegorator, 2 taps plus room for 2 shelves of bottles. I take this to parties or loan to friends so I don't have to keep moving my main one.
  • Spare fermentation fridge, (got it for free because it was broken and took 10 mins to fix). Used it for long-term keg storage for a party but don't use it anymore.
Gotta say I LOVE having the spare kegorator. I'd like it a bit more if it was smaller and more portable, but it's sooooo cool being able to bring it to parties.
 
I own 6, but only use 5. 2 full size and 4 Mini-fridges, of which 2 are fermentation fridges and only run when I'm fermenting or cold crashing something.
 
I have 4. One for food, one for cold crashing beer and storing ingredients and yeast, an old Sobe commercial cooler for bottled beer, and a chest freezer for kegs under my bar tops.
 
One in my kitchen, where the wife lets me have half a shelf for beer, one in the dining room just for beer and soda, one in the shop that I let the wife use on occasion for holiday over flow, and a spare that never gets used, and an old Coke bottle vending machine that runs only in the summer for an extra 65 cold beers. I would ad a kegerator if I could find a place to put it.
