My (4.4 Galanz) mini fridge crapped out sometime early this morning, the ink bird alarm woke me up when the temp started going up…
looks like the compressor seized up and to have it replaced would cost more than what I paid for the mini fridge to start with and yes there was a keg with about 2 gallons of cream ale in it when it stopped working…
I used the fridge for fermenting, cold crashing and keeping keg cold . I usually only do 3 gallon batches sometimes a five gallon here and there and keg with a 3 gallon keg set up and bottle the rest when doing five gallons .
Im wondering if there’s any up sides to going with a small chest freezer over another mini fridge ??
What would you do
Mini fridge or chest freezer ??
