Not good pictures, but mine is an old milk cooler:

Here's mine.

LOVE the use of the old fridge door. Awesome!

Here's mine.

Awesome! I was thinking a nice big fathead sticker would go nicely on that door...

another one for our list

This box is still very much a work in progress but it will eventually be cooled with a glycol chilled radiator. Check it's progress out on our blog.

Input is more than welcome.

Rockstar Energy drink fridge... It's perfect for 1 bucket.

Got the temp control on. My first all-grain batch, and my first temp controlled batch!

 

[creoguy]

Here's my converted Magic Chef mini-fridge...

It's controlled by a Ranco temp controller that is wired up to a switched outlet so I can turn it off when it's not in use. The bottom outlet is not switched and powers my kegerator. Drilled a hole for the temp probe into the compressor hump after checking for coolant lines.

My fermentation chamber is my basement...of a 100 year old house. WAY too ugly to put up a photo, you'd run screaming from your computer.

Here's my recently completed ferm. chamber. Had an old kitchen cab left over from renovating our kitchen (all the rest went in garage as well, up on walls and along back wall... this is on side wall.)
Inspiration came from the modified Haier on first page.
I wish I had found the foam like I see in other pics.. not just styrofoam.. oh well, maybe I'll redo it one day.. much cleaner with the other foam.

here is full write up on it.. with more pics (at bottom)

Not the greatest pics, but mine is just an insulated box with flex duct from the kegerator and a computer fan on a Ranco controller.

Here's our so far...

My father-in-law just picked up some scrap plywood off a job, so hopefully I'll frame it up this week.

 

[JKoravos]

This is what happened one afternoon after I brewed an IPA and decided that it was too warm in my basement. It's just a single 15 gal. minibrew conical, cooled by a typical 5,000btu AC. The thermocouple probe is inside the beer, so it's controlling the beer temp, not the ambient temp.

 

[chuckger]

Just finished the structure of mine in the new brew shop. It is 4ft x 3.5ft x 8ft. Large enough for both of my 15 gal fermenters to roll in the bottom and 6 carboys on the shelf. I ordered a digital 2 dual temp controller so can install a temperary shelf extension that will seperate the top and bottom so I can do lager on top and ferment on bottom in need be. Its also large enough to store kegs and a spare CO2 bottle so I can carb while storing, that way when a keg dies there is no carb/chill time at all just as long as it takes me to swap the keg! I will post more when I get the controller and fans installed.

Mine are a collection of old fridges and freezers. Not pretty enough to post pics of, but they help me produce some kick ass beers.

 

[FSR402]

My fermenting room.

It's not chilled. Get's to 62-65* in the summer and low 50's in the winter. I run a heater in the winter.

I don't think that 'pretty' is what the guys on here are interested in, at leaset I am not. Just want to see pics of other peoples ideas that work. Post'em if you got'em!

 

[Pickngrin]

I just scored a free 6 cubic foot freezer yesterday, and am going to build a temp controller with the Ritetemp I got through Freecycle... excited to finally have a reliable way to control my fermentation temps. I'll post pics when it's done.

 

[jlandin]

Mine is an upright freezer from craigslist that I added a Love controller to:

I keep various ingredients and yeast in the door shelves:

It can hold four 6.5 gallon carboys, six 5 gallon carboys, or some other mixed combinations:

If I ever take the door shelves out and replace with a panel, it will hold more, but I haven't needed the extra space yet.

Damn...the free chest freezer I got through Craigslist doesn't work.

 

[289tiger]

What is the brand and size of the chest freezer?

[pstrohs]

I have used my fermentation chamber for about 6 brews and it works perfect. I can fit up to 4 fermenters in it. I'm not sure how well it will work in cold temps yet.

 

[Poobah58]

Here's mine. It's a Sears freezer that I got for $100. Wired in a Automation Direct Solo to the compressor and fan. Removed the door and put some wall board in it's place. Also removed the old thermostat, defrost timer and front panel display. Holds 4 carboys and one of those can be a 13.2 gallon sanke fermenter.

 

[Boerderij_Kabouter]

Here is my newest edition. Perfect size for fermenting in cornie kegs.

Great looking door.
Did you design and fabricated the door?

Here is mine. 14.8cu ft freezer I got on craigslist and a Love controller. I usually have 4 buckets in at a time with a little extra room.
