14 gallon SS Brewtech Brew Bucket in a Chest Freezer?

Anybody have any success with this? I have two 7.1 freezers and it doesn't fit in either. It is my fault for not measuring, but I am cool with buying another freezer.

I was looking at that a while back and the height prevented me from buying it (I have a 7.1 cu ft right now). I would think you’ll be forced into a standup freezer to make it work (I would think you could get away with one of the smaller varieties). Let us know what you end up with.

14 gallons is pretty darn heavy to be lifting out of a chest freezer.

That was my first thought.

It is heavy I can do it, but I am not looking to buy the glycol set up. Any ideas?

Would this fit it? Surely easier to get in and out...

Unless it is too wide, you could add a collar to it the way people do for a keezer.

ya the top of the fermenter's diameter is about 19 inches, I think the upright makes the most sense. Thanks all
