Which upright Freezer for a 14.5 Gallon Conical

[wedge421]

Ive been saving my pennies up to purchase an upright freezer for my blichamnn conical, a 14.5 gallon model. Which model freezer would you suggest to buy for a ferm chamber? Or am i better off building one for less money? Ive got about $600 to spend.

Blichmann reccommends this from thier website.
•Frigidaire (or Kenmore equivalent) The 13.7 cu ft model FFU1464FW (28W X 28.5D X 59H)

The problem is those models are no longer produced

As long as it has removable shelves and adequate interior footprint, you should be good to go. Looks like the 14.5 gallon conical is 18.5"w x 18.5"d x 31.25"h. I have a 10 year old 18 cu. ft. Frigidaire/Gibson upright freezer, and the floor dimensions are 17" x 26" due to a 3 inch hump from the floor to mid-way up the back - then it's 20" x 26" from mid-way to the top.

Save your pennies even more and check out craigslist. I bought one for $100. I might have been able to talk him down, but figured that it's a good deal as is.
