I have been following this thread because next year I plan to crank up my
white wine production to about 25 gallons. I am thinking of getting a
second (new) refrigerator for the basement where my wine cellar is located.
One of my reasons of thinking about a refrig is that I thought I could use
it for cold stabilization because the temp could be cranked down low enough.
I do not know if this is possible or practicle for the wine storage units.
With a refrig with a freezer, I could also store some frozen berries from my
berry patch. Any thoughts?
