I've been looking at getting a freezer for fermenting. Any idea what the interior dimensions are?

I don't think it'd fit 2 - 6.5 gallon carboys; not sure if those are bigger than buckets or not. I have a 9 cf from Lowe's and it fits 2 - 6.5 gallon carboys comfortably. Since I brew 3.5 gallon batches, I only ferment in 5 gallon carboys. I don't think it fits 3 of those either.

Thanks, man. 2 buckets is the direction I was going.I have a 7cf and it holds two 8 gallon buckets. I use a platform (8" board) to raise the buckets to the level of the hump. Two buckets fit perfectly with plenty of room for air to circulate.
If you're only using it for fermenting, I'd go with a fridge.

I ended up getting this and it is in the garage. Now I just need a temp controller, CO2 tank, kegs, regulator, tubing, faucets, ...Like so many things, I think this will be a very expensive 'sale'

What you can do is cut out some disks of cardboard that match the footprint of a keg. Then just try the freezers on for size.
