What is the smallest fridge that a 6.5 gallon carboy will fit into?
|
|
I want to use it for a fermentation chamber. I seen that Zman used a 5.2 CU and it looks like it has a little room to spare. I found a good deal on a 4.5 CU and I am hoping that it will work.

Take a tape measure with you when you go to look at it. Or better yet, a carboy with bung and airlock (have a blowoff tube assembly waiting in the wings too) so that you can dry fit it. You have the best chance with one that doesn't have a hump, which could be a challenge.
Typically the larger, small, fridges don't have the hump, or it's smaller... Which could be why Zman picked the 5.2 cu. ft. model.

I am hoping to avoid wasting a 60 minute round trip to go look at it.

Then get the seller to send exact internal measurements. If you get the exact make and model you might be able to find them online.
