So with my recent Baton Rouge and Houston beer hauls as well as stocking up in Lafayette and placing Let's Pour orders, I no longer have enough room in my current fridge for beer. My brother and I have a fridge that we use separately for beer and whatnot. Well it's no longer big enough for the two of us. I've been thinking of purchasing my own recently anyway.
Should I go with a full sized used fridge? A mini fridge (dorm/college)? A climate controlled wine fridge? Or a modified version of any of the mentioned?
Post pics of your fridge. Show me you got and give me ideas.

TIA

Chest style fridges are most useful IMO as bombers often dont fit in stand up ones.

Drill a hole in the side, put LINK this in it, and seal that bad boy and you are good to go.

ETA cooling coil location is critical

Why limit it to one beer fridge?

If it were me I'd get a used top or bottom freezer fridge, but that's just me. I like the idea of having an extra freezer for meat.

This picture isn't mine, but I have the same model. I found mine on craigslist for $300, and it works great.

I have 3 used fridges for beer. 1st is a 14 cf that I use as a fermentation fridge for homebrew and cellering. Keep the temp around 67 usually.
2nd is a 13 cf I use for beer. 3rd is a medium size dorm fridge someone gave me that I use for beer too. I can fit a carboy in it for fermentation if needed.

Thanks guys! I have a mini fridge from college that I'll probably use for now until I get an old full size one. I'd really like to find a used glass door one from a bar or convenience store.

Sounds good. I'll see what I can do. Shoot me an email at tigerdropper8@gmail.com.
My work schedule isn't the best for making lunch plans, but tomorrow's schedule is looking like a possibility.
