I think buying an extra fridge on Craigslist is the smart way to do it. But here is what I did.
- got an old chest freezer for $50
- put in a temperature controller
- painted it (my wife chose the color, since she is allowing it to sit in our living room)
- took the lid off, built a wood collar to go between the freezer and the lid, then installed the lid on top of the collar
- drilled holes for CO2 and taps
- cut out a slot for a steel rod to hang meat from
- stained the collar, installed taps, CO2 manifold, 2 pony kegs
Now it is a deer&beer fridge. When there is a deer hanging I have a small fan that I put in as well. I homebrew so the kegs are filled with my beer. If I had to do it over again I would get a much bigger freezer for 3 kegs and more room for deer.
