I am interested in getting a side by side fridge. What I need to know is it possible to convert one so I have a tap on the freezer side and use the fridge as a fermentation chamber?
Possible refridgerators to convert to a kegerator/fermentation chamber.

Anything is possible! I wouldn't know how to begin that conversion, but I would be willing to bet many on here would. DIY forum is probably best source for the required know how.
I would like to join this thread as I just started brewing and in order to keep my fermentation temperature at 70-72F I have to set my apartment AC to around 68...Is there no solution on the market that would work as a fermentation chamber (for both lagers and ales or at least to keep a stable temperature for ales)? I only found DIY projects so far :/
grze, the easiest commercial fermentation chamber is a mini-fridge (make sure it'll fit your fermenter and an airlock/blowoff) plus a ranco or other temperature controller. Done and done.
thanks adman, good point with the airlock...I didn't think about thatI think this is what I'm going to set up. Thanks!
If an attractive mini-fridge solution proved to be too short to fit an airlock stuffed in the fermenter, I have seen folks strap the airlock to the side of the vessel and run tubing from a stopper in the vessel mouth to the airlock. Worked just fine...
Cheers!

This one is my favorite fridge/kegerator conversion. If I ever build one it will probly be like this one.:
