Can a 5 cu ft chest freezer fit.......

2- 6.5 gallon buckets for fermenting in?

If you build a collar to get 1 on the compressor hump, yes. Otherwise, no. I have a danby 5 cu. Ft

I recently purchased a GE 5 cu ft chest freezer because I have space restrictions. I am able to place two 5G kegs and a 10lb CO2 bottle along with a 3G keg on the compressor shelf. It's a tight fit. If you can upgrade to the 7cu ft model, you might be able to accomplish your goal without building a collar. HD has a great price on the 7 cu ft model for $179, plus free shipping. http://www.homedepot.com/Appliances...splay?catalogId=10053&langId=-1&storeId=10051

Again because of space constrictions, I have actually started to ferment in 5g kegs with really good success and it has made the whole process a breeze. No lugging around those heavy carboys and transferring is a breeze along with clean up. Good luck.

The OP is duscussing fermenter buckets not corny kegs. I have a 5 CF freezer that I use as a ferm chamber. It does not fit more than 1 fermenter.

Oh William, I am not bound to please thee with thy answer. I was merely trying to convey what a 5cu ft freezer can accommodate and give him an option, as I have, to use this size chest freezer as a fermentation chamber. There is more than one way to ferment beer, my friend.

Thou needst not become truculent, my fairfield friend. All is well in the valley

Just gotta chime in and say the last 2 posts were amazing. On top of that, I'm getting a 7 cuft freezer this week for my birthday. Gunna use it for fermentation as I have a 19.7 cuft already built out as a keezer.

Hi

Which freezer are you looking at? The general answer is indeed no, but you may have found something really odd.
