How to best use a 7.2 freezer...

I'm getting a 7.2cuft freezer. I would like to use it for lagering. While i'm lagering, can i use it for anything else..conditioning etc...How would you use it??

Fill it with all the Bier bottles you can stuff into it why waste the energy keeping it cold?

No beer bottles...At the moment I'm only kegging my beer....

How big is the keggerator you are using now?

Assuming your new freezer is the Magic Chef, it can hold four cornies without a collar and 6 with a collar. It may make sense to use it as a keezer and re-convert whatever you are using into a fermenting/lagering fridge.

I don't think the Magic Chef is really big enough to do much fermenting bucket/carboy work unless you plan to do only one at a time, maybe two with a collar.

The 7.2 cu. ft. Magic Chef is definitely big enough for 2 bucket fermenters. I do it quite regularly.

Ah. I hadn't thought of a blow-off tube. I've always used an airlock.
