I have an 8.8 cubic foot freezer that I converted to a fermentation chamber. Works like a charm. My "problem" is that it only holds two carboys and we have begun doing double batches of 10 gallons and we need more space.
I am looking at getting the smallest chest freezer that can handle 4 of the biggest (widest actually) carboys I may come across.
This one I am looking at right now is 12.9cu ft: http://www.lowes.com/ProductDisplay?productId=3045125
or this 14.8cu ft: http://www.lowes.com/ProductDisplay?productId=3529016
Anyone have any experience with either? The first one looks like it may be a bit too small. The second is going to be big enough.
I may just cut out some circles in cardboard and take them to the store. How big should I make them? My carboys appear to be 12" in diameter, but I am hoping to be prepared for wider ones if I come across them in the future.
Thanks for any input in advance.
