Finally found something I'm happy with. It's a Sears freezer that I got for $100. Wired in a Automation Direct Solo to the compressor and fan. Left a wire for a future heater. I cut the wires to the defrost heater before I realized WTF did I do that for? Still might be able to use it. 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. [attachment=393:Fridge_1.JPG]Put 80 lbs of grain on the shelf to test it's strength.Roughly the weight of 2 full carboys. [attachment=394:Fridge 008_.JPG]Oh yea, fits nicely next to my beer fridge![attachment=395:Fridge_9.JPG]
