Haier 7.1 cu ft freezer for $175 at Costco
|
|
Noticed that my Costco (East Wenatchee, WA) is selling 7.1 Haier chest freezers for $175 (hcm071lc). Would be worth checking out if you are in the market. They look pretty much like the GE 7.0's and have the exact same outside measurements. I'll snag a measurement of the inside next time I'm in (unless I give it a new home for a keezer project at which point pics will follow  ).

Seems like a good deal, $15 less than the GE. But, Sam's Club will deliver to your door for free!

I saw the HCM071LC as well. Do freezers always allow a warm enough temp for beer? I mean, I like my beer cold but not frozen. . . Costco will take it back, but it's a big thing to lug.

You'll need to purchase a temperature controller. Ranco and Johnson are popular brands. |

I was looking at those yesterday.
It looked like it will hold 4 ball locks in the bottom, and one or two on the hump.
Possibly the kegs on the bottom will fit without a collar.
Next time I go, I'll take a measuring tape and some 9" cardboard circles.
ETA: I went on over to Costco and measured it:
Haier 7.1 cf Chest Freezer
37"w x 23"d x 33"t
27" deep (bottom)
17.5" deep (hump)
3 kegs on bottom (no collar), 1 on hump (with collar). May fit 3 gallon on hump without collar.

Any chance I'd be able to fit a 6.5 gallon carboy and 2 corneys? From the looks of the picture I doubt it, but has anyone tried?
Anyone?

I know this thread is old, but yes you can fit two corneys and a 6.5 fermentor in there with easy.
