Danby DCR122BLDD 4.3 cf kegerator conversion

I'm eyeing this as it's really cheap and it doesn't look like bending the freezer is that bad.

I'm going to use mine as a fermentation chamber though, does anyone know if a 6.5 gallon glass carboy fits OK? I'm guessing it does given the dimensions listed but would love to hear before I make the jump.

Thanks!

Post your 6.5 gal carboy dimensions.

Hey Spacey, I have successfully completed your conversion! I did it on two fridges at the same time and it worked out perfectly! I also didn't have to cut out the shelving when i moved the thermostat!

I was wondering if you knew where the coolant lines run inside the fridge itself? In my attached picture I am looking to drill in the red box (very top left of the inside of the fridge) so that I can run out drain lines to a tank behind the fridge. Before I start cutting I would like to see what you thought. Also I think where I have the green box there should be no coolant lines, just the electrical for the compressor, this doesnt help with my drain hold issue. Thoughts?

Great guide by the way!
