I still wanted to store a lot of my bottles-to-drink on-site so I picked up a huge upright freezer. Why upright? Well, it might store less than a standard chest freezer but for a chest-freezer to be usable, you have to make bottles impossible to access by stacking a piece of wood on top of bottles and then stacking again. Great for long term cellaring but bad for bottles you\u2019ll be drinking this year.<\/p>\n<p>I bought<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sears.com\/kenmore-20-cu-ft-upright-freezer-white\/p-04622042000P?prdNo=1&amp;blockNo=1&amp;blockType=G1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> this from Sears<\/a>, Kenmore 22042 20.2 cu. ft. Upright Freezer along with the Johnson Controls A419 Temperature Controller which I\u2019ve used for 2 years on my Danby Kegerator \/ Keezer. I thought a 20 cubic foot freezer would hold a lot of beer. In fact, it only held just one of my 3 huge Husky toolboxes worth of beer and none of my Lambic. Basically, this will be used for Hill Farmstead bottles and a few 375ML Lambic bottles. Sigh.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View &#039;New Beer Fridge&#039; on Flickr.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/adamjackson\/25161542743\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  class=\"aligncenter pk-lazyload\"  style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"New Beer Fridge\"  width=\"427\"  height=\"640\"  border=\"0\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/farm2.staticflickr.com\/1487\/25161542743_6ee072f8dd_z.jpg\" ><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View &#039;New Beer Fridge&#039; on Flickr.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/adamjackson\/25693064681\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  class=\"aligncenter pk-lazyload\"  style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"New Beer Fridge\"  width=\"427\"  height=\"640\"  border=\"0\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/farm2.staticflickr.com\/1459\/25693064681_befa1def32_z.jpg\" ><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Realistically I need 4 of these to hold all of my on-site beer and another 3 to hold my off-site beer.
