What are a good current mini fridges for fitting a 6.5 gal carboy? I know there are lots of threads about it, but a lot of the stuff is outdated, like the sanyo mini fridge that is out of production.

I use it to cold crash, but since I mostly use it for the kegerator aspect, I don't ferment in it.

I have a 2.7 cu.ft. Black and Decker. $94 at Walmart. I did not get it with the intention of putting anything inside. I made a chamber with 2x4's plywood and 2 inch foamboard. There are 2 doors that swing out on the front and the top raises so I can have full access. It will hold 3 fermenters at a time. It is temperature controlled with a Johnson Controls A419 controller. The fridge is installed in one end.
Ill have to check the brand when I get home.
Temp goes to about 52 ish. Not cold enough to lager but works great for ales.
why isnt this cold enough for lager fermentation?
What can you fit inside?
Can you share photos of your build?
Thanks.
