My old inkbird controlled chest freezer bit the dust and I had to buy another one last night.
 Damn thing must have been 25 years old. |

What brand was it?
I'd like to get back into beer brewing but I don't really want to mess with bottling for it. I've got a couple of corny kegs and a friend offered me a bunch more for free |

I've got a couple of corny kegs and a friend offered me a bunch more for free I just bought the cheapest 7 cu.ft. Lowes had. it says it's a Hotpoint. But I just use it as a fermentation chamber since I brew mostly lagers. I guess it's deep enough to hold a couple of cornry kegs for cold conditioning. I just use the kegerater for that since they will hold two. One on tap, one conditioning. |

I have a 7cf GE chest freezer I use to lager.
It holds five 5 gallon and two 3 gallon kegs. Need to build a new fermentation chamber. |

I bought a 5 cubic ft chest freezer and an Inkbird yesterday. Takes care of my two biggest pain points (fermentation temp control and wort chilling). While I'm not fermenting in it, we are going to use it to make ice (trays and ice blocks) and freeze gel packs (and the occasional food overflow). This will give me a ton of ice to make an ice bath for recirculation through a wort chiller; Florida tap water is too hot to chill wort efficiently.
Can't wait to ferment my next batch in it. I was sick of rotating gel packs every few hours in a swamp cooler. I might even have to make a lager- something that I've never been able to consider doing. |
