Uses for a under counter fridge.

Post by Dgrant81385 » Sat Jan 17, 2015 2:54 pm

Ey up gents!

A friend of mine has informed me hes getting rid of a old under counter fridge as he has no use for it.

I have jumped at the chance to take it as i could use it as a beer fride rather than all my bottles at room temperature.

My question is what other uses for it is there in homebrewing?

If it fits a fermenting bin inside then you can use it to maintain fermentation temperatures, which is useful in every brew, but particularly for lagering.

And the slam is dunked :lol: . Welcome to our World, the next comments will be brewers bragging about how many white goods they own (2 fridges and 2 freezers, one turned into a keezer, there got there first)
