Lagering?

[GABrewboy]

Can you guys give me some ideas on the best fridge/freezer to get for lagering?

Thanks

I found a 5ft stand up commerical freezer that is 10yrs old and works great for $40.....is this a pretty decent one for holding a carboy?

It's plenty tall - how wide and deep is it?

You're going to need a temp controller too

I think it's 37" wide.....Yes, going to get the Ranco or Johnson control. Do they sell those at HomeDepot or Lowes or only the LHBS or online?

I got my Johnson on ebay for less than they were selling it at Northern Brewer

This is where I got my Ranco Controllers - cheapest I could find. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7586707654&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MEWA:IT&rd=1
