Looking for some ideas. I'm leaning toward a standup freezer but would like some other ideas.
I will update some pics of my side by side that I converted. I built a stand inside the fridge and freezer part and will be cutting a hole in it to fit a 15g plastic conical. The freezer side will hold 3- 6g carboys.
Mine's an upright freezer with a Ranco controller and works great. Can fit two 6.5 gallon carboys on the floor and two 5g on the shelf I build(not in picture). I'm entertaining the idea of building a cooler room with an older analog window a/c unit to maintain temps once I get my 10g system finished.

Built from a floral cooler taken out of a Kroger store. Three 60 gallon full-drain conicals.
Is the pipe for filling?
When I build one it will either have a ramp or be ground level. Perhaps a pull out shelf that holds the conical. not sold on cip yet.
I don't have enough friends to drink that much beer.

I really want to find something like this even if it is a single. You said "refurbished" which leads to my question..... How easy are these to work on if I find one that isn't in perfect working order?I use a True (brand) double door cooler that I refurbished and put a Love Temp controller on it. I set it at 10-15 degrees below my targeted ferm temps and use fermwraps to then heat the conicals up to appropriate temp. I find that is better than setting the cooler to fermentation temperature.
