kmar92 Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Mine died last friday and I have been wondering what to replace it with. It was our last kitchen fridge, the kitchen fridge was updated and so it became a fermentation fridge. It was actually not that old either, 6 years. Anyway it had a catastrophic failure of some sort and tripped the RCD on the house supply. I have been looking at what I can get as a replacement, I would really like to get an "all fridge" that would fit 2 x fermenters but it seems that they are as rare as rocking horse s..t. Any recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any recommendations? Might be a bit out of your budget a Rapt fridge these can easily fit a firmzilla 60l conical in so they will easily do 2 fermenters you dont need heat belt as the fridge is designed for it you connect it to the rapt portal and dowload fermenting profiles just a thought i would even look at all freezer ones as well (not talk chest freezer or keep an eye out for the soft drink free standing fridges you see servos etc 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenyinthewestofsydney Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Yeah you don't see all fridges often. When I was looking around for one I saw a couple on gumtree but they were miles away from me so wasn't practicle. Then I was talking to the brother in law about looking for a second hand fridge and he said he had one and had tried to sell it a year or so before for 50 bucks but nobody wanted it because it had no freezer. Obviously a brewer never saw it. If mine sh*ts itself though I will do what ozdevil says and buy a rapt fridge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cripes, these are strong wire shelves No sagging. Presuming both are 'full" it must be holding up to 40Kg plus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't plan on doing Four at once to often, three is enough. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
