I've just upgraded the cooling system in the home brewery and now have some fridges that work well but need to go.
There are two or three fridges that have shelving and other inner bits removed to make maximum space for kegs and fermenters. They all work well but were free to me so I'll pass them on in the same spirit.
Fridge 1: An old ASTOR automatic 12 - it was old when we bought it, it is a great workhorse. We've had it for 20 years and we weren't original owners. It has never missed a beat and still gives modern fridges a run for their money. It has three holes on the front door for taps (not supplied), and a couple of support brackets for a drip tray (brackets go with it but no tray). Fits 2x 25 litre fermenters or 5 kegs.
Fridge 2: A newer fridge - a Simpson 360 manual - again quite old and was going to be a throw-away that I rescued. It struggles a bit to maintain 4 deg on a hot summer day, but otherwise continues to work ok. This one has a single small hole in the door to provide a CO2 line - I used it as a conditioning fridge. Fits 4 kegs.
Fridge 3: (Pending the owner's willingness to part with it) A whirlpool 12 automatic. I don't know much about this one but it seems to work as well as the ASTOR and is likely close to its vintage. Probably fits 5 kegs, but definitely 4 kegs and 2x 25 litre fermenters.
Pickup only in Oakleigh (near Chadstone). Please PM me if you are interested.
cheers, Arnie
PS. Just on the off chance anyone is interested, I also have a Fisher & Paykel 164 litre chest freezer that I'm about to list on ebay. I'm happy for reasonable offers on that one.
