Lagering Cellar

OK, so yesterday Preston drove me about two hours round trip so I could purchase a top-loading freezer through the classifieds. Turns out the thing is a monster, 15 square feet to be exact. Doesn't sound big? You could probably fit me and Data in it and several smallerish orphans. Or one dancing midget hired out and chained up for the Super Bowl.

So I'm having conerns about where to fit it in the apartment, but if my roommates bear with me, we could probably store it in the kitchen without much fuss, along the back wall or something like that. It has about the surface area of a child-size beer pong table, which is wrong in many ways. I'll post some pictures of it a la Pimp My Ride, because my next line of duty is to make a big ass stencil of the Dk logo and beautify the top.

Photos to come.

Oh yeah, in case anyone is wondering, its purpose is this: I'll hook up a thermostat to its power source, which will keep the temperature not at freezing but around 45 degrees, which is the ideal temperature for both fermenting lagers and storing bottled beer once it has been carbonated. And, since you can swim in it, we might as well use it as a second fridge in case ours starts overflowing with food and drink. Plus, its compressor, it being an older model freezer, is far smaller than most, requiring less energy, so it'll hardly have an effect on the electrical bill.

So there we are. The first brewing investment has been made.

2 weeks...
