Refrigerator/Freezer Keg and Bottle Storage

Tue Apr 22, 2008 2:55 pm

I have a standard refrigerator/freezer that I am trying to use as 2 fridges. My goal is to use the freezer portion of the fridge to store my bottles and the fridge to store my kegs. I was planning on doing this using a temp control and placing it in my freezer at 32-34F or so. I was hoping that this would stabilize the freezer at 50F or so. I am not sure if this is going to happen so, if anyone has ideas PLEASE let me know.

Only one way to find out and that is do it... some fridges and freezers have separate controls, I don't know if that's just a fan controller between the two.

If it's a newer fridge it may not have cooling lines in the bottom of the freezer. If it doesn't, you can cut it out and use one of the wire shelves to cover the hole. I saw a website where someone did this. Find it and you should be on the right track.

Maybe I will cut holes in the top shelf. Seems like a workable idea.
