I just unpacked mine, and tried to fit it in my igloo chest freezer. If I don't use the collection ball, and use a blowoff on the op instead of an airlock, it FITS!
My question to everyone is this: What impact will not using the collection ball have on the beer? If I just wait until bottling day to pull out the conical, hook up the ball and open the valve to drain the trub and yeast, that shouldn't make too much difference right? By wedging the unit between the shelf in the fridge and another carboy, it's a perfect fit.
Also, I picked up a thermometer from my LHBS which threads directly into the inset threads on the conical, rendering the brass thermoport useless (for now, anyway). Was a little disappointed upon unpacking that there were no camlock fittings supplied, as was shown in all the tutorial videos. Maybe I didn't read all the fine print, I was just under the impression for some reason that the kit came with the camlocks instead of having to unthread the union fittings. No big deal though. Overall, I like the whole setup. It was nice having the thread tape and sample bag of PBW included. I'll post again after breaking this baby in with a nice batch of Hef.
