Looking for fridge to lager?!?

[Wilbergrowsalot]

Ive been all over town to find a fridge to lager in. All im finding is large fridges or chest freezers. Does anyone know of a brand that will fit the 6 gallon carboys? Thanks All!

I use a chest freezer with temp controller that will fit two 6.5 gallon better bottles.

Best Buy did have one they will fit in. It looks like a smaller version of a full size fridge with a separate freezer door.

I was just at Lowes yesterday getting a new dishwasher...is it bad that I size up stoves for BTUs and diameter? Anywho...there are a few mini-chest freezers starting at $160. The cheapest will only hold one but I saw a slightly larger one that was still reasonable...might even hold three snuggly.

what size is your chest freezer?

I stopped into lowes a seen a nice chest freezer for about 160 as well. After speaking with a CSR, he had mentioned the the chest freezer will freeze even on the lowest setting, is this true? I have a hard time beleiving this because I've seen pictures on this forum showing a similar model and it wasnt iced over. what should be a good temp range for me to keep in mind when shopping around? Ideally I would like to have an upright instead of a chest for ease of use. Thanks Again!

You probably want an external temp controller so that it doesn't freeze, Like this one from Northern Brewer.
