Title: Will a 60 Litre fermenter fit in a 100 Litre Freezer
Post by: aweisse on June 11, 2016, 08:01:20 PM
Would anyone know what is the internal dimensions of a 100 L chest freezer.
Im thinking of using one with a STC1000 to ferment a lagar.

Depends on the brand surely?
Bring your bucket to the place you intend on buying and drop it in.
I was seen walking around currys with 2 kegs once glad I did as they didn't have what I needed even though it was a large larder fridge

Or draw around the base of the fermenter on cardboard and bring that in. Check footprint then measure height.

I'd overcompensate with template as in my case I wanted 4 cornies in, it was too tight a fit by mm's and ended out getting a second hand old monster off adverts instead.

Yeah I put al my kegs out in the configuration I wanted at home and measured before I went, including heights for shelves etc. Could only find one fridge that could hold 8 kegs, though I went with a 6 + shelf setup in the end.
