Fridge Size

[reveler]

I finally have the time to secure a fridge so I can brew some lagers.

I just don't know what sort of Litres I should be looking at.

I am hoping for it to be large enough to hold a fermenter drum, but also 3-4 kegs later on.

any ideas?

Reveler,

Go large...

I have a 440litre (inc freezer) fridge that holds 2 cornies and one 25litre fermenter. If I lager in cubes, it will take two of those, plus the kegs.

One thing though, soon you will realise that the temps you need for certain ferments are different to the desirable serving temps for your kegs. So, get a large fridge now, then plan for a keg fridge as well.

Try to find an old commercial drinks fridge, or something like that. Anything big that can hold atleast 2 fermenters.

That said it may be easier to build a fermentation room like here:
