Chest freezer for fermentation

[brewer413]

I am looking to purchase a 5 cu ft chest freezer that a temperature controller can be used with to keep the temperature between 40-60 degrees F. What brand freezer do people use????

Seems a lot of the common ones that you can find in the big box stores are all variations if in another with stickers and knobs in different locations.

Doesn't the footprint matter most? Are you fermenting in carboys? Buckets? Kegs? Pails? How many can you fit next to each other?

Any chest freezer can be plugged into an inkbird to control temps. May also need to find away to raise temps.... I use a heating mat for seedlings that I taped to the inside wall.

I share an cheap old chest freezer(Craigslist find) with a friend that holds 3 carboys. We use the Inkbird 308 and this [URL='https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003XDTWN2/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20']personal heater[/URL] to control the temps = works great!
