Yeah, may do that. was really trying to figure out a way to do a combo. I saw two plans for that.
One used some insulation to make a seperate area the size of one carboy with a heat lamp setup in there to keep the temp up in that chamber while the keg chamber was kept cool. Seemed like a fire hazard and waste of energy w/ the heat/cooling fighting each other, but a good idea.
The second one was a guy who build a cabinet on top of his chest freezer w/ 6" diameter tubes connecting the two. His theory was the hot air would naturally go up (he used some fans to help). He never reposted so I guess it didn't turn out well.

I feel sort of retarded using my kegerator as a fermenter and the freezer as a kegerator as it will require an additional temperature controller, but I really want the extra space in the standing freezer to use as a beer cellar. I should be able to fit 3 (or 4) corny kegs at the bottom, then have a few racks for cellared beers, and then more in the door possibly. Might have to adjust the racks on the door for the corny kegs. We'll see... I still need to get the freezer from my grandma's house and see how this will all work.
