Ok, so its pretty much been mandated by my girlfriend that I get a beer fridge (yet another sign that she's a keeper!). Also, she got me a brewkit for Christmas, so I'm gonna need somewhere to keep them during bottle conditioning. I've come to the conclusion that a fridge is my only option right now (garage is too cold and temperature is not stable enough, we have a storage space in the basement, which would be ideal except our building's boiler is in the basement, keeping it a nice balmy 80 degrees, and our apartment is too warm as well). So fridge it is.
My question is (since I've never bought a fridge before), what size will I need? Ideally, I'd *like* something large enough to keep 2 batches at a time (so between 4 and 5 cases of beer, or a little over 100 bottles). I definitely don't think a normal compact fridge is large enough. I found one at home depot that is 6.0 cubic feet, but I think that might be a little small. I really wanna find something cheap and used on craigslist, just really need to know what size to look for.

I tried using things like reason, and explained to her that a single 5 gallon batch of beer won't fit in something that small. Or will it? What's the smallest a fridge can be and still hold one batch (around 50 bottles)?
