If you want to save some money on running fridges in the shed for brewing try replacing them all with chest freezers.

The chest freezer on my back verandah hardly even runs. The fridge that was there before ran alot. The walls on a chest freezer are about twice the thickness of a fridge so they are much better insulated.
