KNeace Official Brew Dude Brewmeister Registered: 06/16/09 Posts: 5533 Loc: Hoosierville	I have a mini fridge, use it for fermentation, if it didnt have the stpid freezer section I could fit 5gal batches. Cant say anything about the bottles, every fridge will be different. _________________________ Up Next: Fillin' Da Pipeline!

cardinalsfan Dinosaur Basement Brewing Ultimate Mr. Beer Fan Registered: 03/15/11 Posts: 3008 Loc: OKC	I did use mine as a beer fridge for a while and from what I remember, I was able to fit 1L bottles in there. Don't know how many and I think I could only fit them on one shelf. _________________________ DINOSAUR BASEMENT BREWING -------------------------------------- Fermenting: Nothing at the moment Carbing: World Series Tripel, Pale/Citra SMaSH Conditioning: Drinking: Dilophosaurus Doppelbock, Allosaurus Amarillo Pale Ale, Sinraptor Sorachi Ace AIPA, Caseosaurus Cascade APA (AG), Helioceratops Hefe, Witty Monk Modified, ESB (AG), SWMBO Nut Brown Ale Up Next: Vienna/Simcoe SMaSH, DNR Clone R.I.P: Stegosaurus Cream Ale (Awesome), T.

psuchunk03 That's what she said... Brewmeister Registered: 01/01/10 Posts: 7002 Loc: St. Louis, MO	$150 is an ass-ton for a dorm fridge... have you checked your local CL? it'd easily fit in the back of a car, so pickup should be a breeze. _________________________ "Only a fool learns from his mistakes; a wise man learns from the mistakes of others." - Otto von Bismarck Fermenting: #25 Mr. Beer Beta Test Bavarian Weissbier Carbing / Conditioning: #24 Keep Calm and Brew On E.S.B. #21 Colonial Ale Drinking: Pipeline is empty On Deck (...eventually): Hefeweizen, Scottish Ale, Kenny's Fat Tire clone "It Has Big Taste"

Milltime Ultimate Mr. Beer Fan Registered: 01/11/08 Posts: 2019 Loc: NE Ohio	I have a small wine chiller that I use for fermenting lagers and use for chilling homebrews. Thus far,the $150 purchase has been worth it as I can squeeze my 3 Gal Carboy in it which is currently nursing a Bock

Deucebelow Whoohoo! I'm brewing!

My wife got me this one. I keep it on about a 4 setting and it gets super cold; keeps beer icy cold. Can't really fit bottles in the door but I am pretty sure you can get a bunch of those PET bottles in there, lying down. _________________________ Fermenting (LBK1): Some...what I hope turns into...wine. lol Fermenting (LBK2): Carbing: Cerveza de Cinco De Mayo, Cowboy Honey Wheat Conditioning: Drinking: Mad Dog IPA, Witty Monk Witbier, West Coast Pale ale

cardinalsfan Dinosaur Basement Brewing Ultimate Mr. Beer Fan Registered: 03/15/11 Posts: 3008 Loc: OKC	if it were me, I wouldnt put my homebrew lying down. that will get the yeast and sediment to settle in the side of the bottle, making it easier to pour into my glass. _________________________ DINOSAUR BASEMENT BREWING -------------------------------------- Fermenting: Nothing at the moment Carbing: World Series Tripel, Pale/Citra SMaSH Conditioning: Drinking: Dilophosaurus Doppelbock, Allosaurus Amarillo Pale Ale, Sinraptor Sorachi Ace AIPA, Caseosaurus Cascade APA (AG), Helioceratops Hefe, Witty Monk Modified, ESB (AG), SWMBO Nut Brown Ale Up Next: Vienna/Simcoe SMaSH, DNR Clone R.I.P: Stegosaurus Cream Ale (Awesome), T.

Stinkfist Ultimate Mr. Beer Fan Registered: 01/07/10 Posts: 3470 Loc: Minnesota	If you want one that can easily be converted to a 2 tap kegerator or a fermentation chamber I would suggest this one... http://www.walmart.com/ip/Danby-Designer-Compact-Refrigerator/5893621 It does not have a freezer section which makes it very easy to fit a 6 gallon better bottle or 2 5 gallon corny kegs and a 5lb CO2 tank....I know cuz its what i have _________________________ Third Eye Brewing #12.
