I would buy this for a ferm chamber if I could manage two sankes in it. Anyone with experience?

So it fits one definitely? To fit a second I need to build a stand and a collar for head space?
orion7144 said:I can not say I have tried it but I do not see why not. However, I would not do it since it would kill my back. You would have to lift up ~140lbs up and over the collar then set it down slowly.
I always brew with a partner so the lifting is not an issue.
orion7144 said:Lifting to get into a kegerator is A LOT different then lifting up and over then DOWN in the keezer. If you are comfortable with that then go for it. I just worry about when when you do get over the hump and it drops down cause you or partner slip. There goes your freezer.
Sorry for being a pessimist but I have lugged too many 1/2 barrels around to say I have been there and done that.

My last one that held 6 taps lasted 8 years and I bought it used was made in 1987 my current is almost 3 come April. I keep a couple of 3n1's around 90% of the time the compressor overload snaps and compressor won't run, quick and easy fix have a chest freezer and a full size fridge I use for lagering that I got for free both running on 3n1's freezer is going on 7 years that way.
