New to the board but have been brewing for a few years (extract).
I've recently upgraded my serving fridge to a 4 tapper (from 2) and now have a dedicated fermentation fridge.
As a brewer that endures 90 days of 100F and 15 days >110F, the re-purposed equipment has been a blessing. I used the water-bath swamp cooler method for many years and there is a clear difference in quality.
Had I known, I might have bought a dorm fridge or used the method detailed by desertbrew years earlier when $ and space was limiting.
To answer a couple of others question from another thread, "Yes, I am the proud owner of a 2003 Rubicon." I am top-down and AC on about 360 days a year.
From lurking on this board, I saw that there aren't many fans of Ginger Beer (the soda). There is nothing tastier than a Moscow Mule http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Underground/6514/mule.html
served in a copper mug on a sweltering day.
