Fridge conversion question

[Gugs44]

Hi Lads,
I am going to use the fridge i had for my kegs as a fermentation chamber as I have gone back to bottling, while the fridge was plenty big enough to hold 2 cornys and my CO2 tank, it will not hold 2 fermentation buckets, the problem isn't the height but the little shelf thing at the back covering the compressor part, could I possibly cut about and inch and a half off of this to allow the door to close and fit both buckets in? My only other option is to make a collar to attatch on to the front

TIA

Can you post pics of the door might be easier to remove protrusions there?

[Gugs44]

I will do that as soon as I get home from work this evening, would give people a better idea alright i suppose,

thanks

It's worth considering smaller or different fermentors. My freezer won't take my 33L buckets from Geterbrewed, the outer rim catches on the way in, but the larger Fermonster fermentor fits easy.

Square plastic boxes have become popular as fermenters for this trason

[BrewDorg]

Where have you seen square plastic fermenters? Would be interested in those.

[TheSumOfAllBeers]

Not fermenters. Converted plastic boxes.

[Leann ull]

Yeah but they aren't food approved guys particularly when exposed to alcohol

[TheSumOfAllBeers]

Some people take those risks.

Fair point and good for them but as a courtesy to those who may have to judge their beer or younger folks that drink their product and haven't had kids, beer with heavy metals, UV stabilisers or peroxides is not a nice gift.

Yeah it's onenthong O always worry about judging. I'm fastidious about my storage conditions but others may not be as concerned and careful. Please ferment and store in food grade vessels guys!

Spiedel do rectangle ones but they are hard to come by

The drums the AJ comes in from gB would work or Halfords sell big water drums

[Sorcerers Apprentice]

Or upgrade to a larder fridge?

Your fridge seems the sane as mine. As a result, I ferment in my corny. I  cold crash and either transfer to another clean keg or transfer to a bottling bucket.

Easy peasy
