http://www.brewjacket.com/product/immersion-beer-cooling-unit/ even more space saving, but again not cheap..and if you read the info on peltiers they are not efficient either. Im with Peter, not much can compete with converted S/H fridges if you have the space.

yeah cheap as chips get one that will fit a 60L brew barrel...   no looking back....   and versitile ferment chamber, heating box in winter for saisons,   extra fridge space at xmas for ham, cant go past a trusty old prestcold

I do a lot of 50L+ brews now that I mainly keg    1 keg for me 1 keg for a party or bbq and a few bottles for the boat....  saves time, lots of time.    Would do this with an untried recipe, but good to go for the house beers,  the trick is to have a man cave where you can sneak old fridges when the other house is out shoe shopping, then deny its new saying you had it down the back for ages... and the extra $10 a week power bill must be something else...

those realtime power monitors are real pests, my other half gets emails if the power goes up/down much on a daily basis with little charts and all.... and you notice it if you base out 2 50l brews on electrickery in a few days

Alternative would be for in summer to have the ss brewtec cooling system pumping water from a reservoir inside your keg fridge and in winter have a water supply with an aquarium heater in it.
