Beer fridge put to good use

[nic531]

I posted this awhile ago, tried to transfer post doooh... 6x2 uprights cut exactly to fit, this has worked very well for many years.

Willowbank.

dragging up an old question, I saw this. seems easy fix but have one question..... with plain wood inside the fridge, any issues with food safe/inspection for food hygiene?
thanks in advance

Hi what fridges are you guys using?
I’m looking for a fridge for the garage but there doesn’t seem to be anything local secondhand so will probably have to be a new unit

What a clever bunch of SD lads! That said and dare I even say it, the absolute best use of a Beer “fridge” is to chill beer!

I would rather have venison in there

I am using a large larder fridge with a fan in it, fits 2 x 35-40kg fallow in it.

Thanks for that, I’m thinking that in order to take the weight of a fallow I’d have to take the top off the fridge, see a clear way to the insulation - drill down and then through, using a steel bar at the top with an eyed bolt nylocked into the bar, with plenty of silicon sealant to air/ moisture seal the hole….. then said S hook….

Alternatively a ‘frame’ in the top that can’t fit beyond the internal mouldings….. with glue etc…as you’ve done

Anyone else any advice? We’re looking for a second hand commercial or drinks fridge, to take maybe two fallow at most….. ( we’re not that good)

You can use the drink trays if they come with the fridge, slip the meat hook over one of the bars the wire tray is welded to.

I run a metal bar through the top secured in by 2 bits of wood glued either side with some industrial type adhesive. I havnt drilled into the fridge itself at all. I’ve only had roe and munty in there but I’m not entirely sure fallow would fit.

If its the same as mine - 6ft or so - then, if the bar is high up enough it can just get a fallow in. But gave me a sleepless night or two as to whether the bar could take the weight - mine is drilled through the sites like one of the Bushwear kits.

I've just picked one of these up going to try this saves drilling the top, thanks for the idea
