I ferment in a temperature controlled chest freezer in a 15.5 gallon Sanke keg. My batches are usually 10 gallons so this gives me plenty of head space for fermentation. I use the Sanke fermentation conversion kit from brewershardware.com. It has a dip tube, blowoff port, and a port for a temperature probe.

Temperature control maintaining the Scottish 80 Shilling at 65 degrees.
I condition in a temperature controlled freezer. It has room for 4 kegs plus some bottles. I am planning on building a collar at some point to give me space for 3 more kegs.

Conditioning freezer temperature control keeping the kegs at just over 40 degrees.
I converted my old refrigerator into my kegerator. I store my hops in the freezer portion. The kegerator has 5 taps and room for 6 kegs. I have 6 different secondary CO2 regulators to dial in the carbonation level of the beers on tap. I use a 20 lb CO2 tank to supply the CO2.

Hops in the freezer, each bag has 4 oz. of hops.
I also have a spare mini-fridge that I use to store some of the commercial beers I have as well as my dry yeast.

So that's my "beer room" in my basement. Thanks for looking.
Cheers!
