Chest freezer ?

Wanted to know if anybody knows what size chest freezer would fit for sure 4 fermenting buckets with a little room so it's not to tight. Our summers here get really hot and i need to make alot of beer in a controled enviroment.


:rockin:

 

I've got a 12cf and there is no way it would hold more than three.

 

I would say trace one of your lids onto a piece of cardboard and make 4 cutouts. Take a trip to an appliance store and use the cutouts to test freezers.

 

I had a 15 cu footer that I'm certain would have fit 4 buckets... I used 6.5 gal carboys though and never had more than 3 in there.

 

Ive got the ge 14.8cf chest freezer and i got 4 buckets in there now and two startrs. Its on home depots website on sale now for $360 ish with free shippi g!

 

Solution: bring a bunch of bucket lids with you when you go to buy it, and see how many fit side by side in there.

 

Thats good to here about the GE 14.8 cf chest freezer, that was the one i was thinking on measuring.

 

You might also consider going to square-ish buckets if you're really trying to maximize space. Vittle Vaults would be a good choice. Or as AHS calls 'em, "Brew Cubes". You could probably fit four 20 gallon fermentors in a pretty small fridge if you played your cards right.
