Hi all,

I'm interested in getting a fridge for fermentating, I'm limited on space and I've been looking at a 4.4cu ft fridge to convert.

The problem it seems is that you have to build it out with wood, and my girlfriend isn't keen at all on that idea because the fridge would be in the dining room hidden in the corner by our table

I was hoping someone may have a suggestion on a fridge that would work for a 6.5 gallon bucket without needing the wood buildout.

Any ideas or model recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
 
I guess I'll respond here as well. Are you sure you'll need to build it out? I have 4.4 cu foot refrigerator and my 6.5-gallon fermenter fits in there just fine--and I didn't even take the shelving off the door.

I have a 4.4 (or 4.2, don’t remember) Magic Chef and my buckets and fermonster fit just fine. I did, however, took a dremmel to the plastic shelf supports on the door.
