I'm hoping to brew on my next day off (5 jan) so really hoping someone gets back with details of a suitable fridge.
Otherwise I shall have to spend my day off traipsing around the shops with a fermenter under my arm.

I used to use a Currys under counter fridge with no ice box. Just had to replace the glass shelf on top of the salad drawer with a plywood shelf. I think it was the one below.

Hi!
I think you'd struggle getting it inside an under-the-counter fridge. Without airlock or blow-off tube it's over 52cm tall.

Mine fitted with a blow off tube.
Just remembered, the shelf I put into that fridge was about five inches off the floor. I got rid of that fridge six months ago and replaced it with an integrated under counter fridge which again the BB fits into easily.
Hi!
I stand corrected.
I like the look of these SS buckets, but I can fit two standard FVs into my tall larder fridge. I don't think two SS buckets would fit.
Do you know which one your now using?
It is and I have thought of that, but if it's a bit borderline then I want the bucket handy just to check the door will close.
Not sure, I'm overseas working at the moment. I just went to a place in Southport that sell off appliances that have the odd dent etc.
The Curry's one I previously had was ok for size though, you need to make sure there are no fixed door shelves otherwise you may have to hack them off.
I have this one: https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/house...2-undercounter-fridge-white-12265408-pdt.html
Though it was in a sale when i found it.
SS brewbucket fits perfectly, just have to take out the drawers. Room for a blow off tube and heating tube at the back too.

Have a look on eBay and use the search filter ââ¬Å nearest me firstââ¬Â or gumtree in your area, if your not looking for a fridge or freezer that are all bright and new looking they almost give them away
If itââ¬â¢s of any use I bought a Bosch Logixx easy access fridge off gumtree and my Brewbucket fits no problem. It does look like a ââ¬Ëbiggerââ¬â¢ fridge but you can probably find the dimensions online.
Its made a massive difference to my quality and in combination with the inkbirk and the heat mat itââ¬â¢s a one time purchase which should give years of service.

I recently bought the 7 gallon brewmaster bucket and checked the fit in my fridge and it fits perfectly with the thermowell and tap pointing forwards (towards the door), with the ITC-308 short probe fitted in the well.
I'm posting this on a old thread as I came across this thread whilst looking for the same answer as the OP, and thought it would be beneficial to add my model of fridge into the 'catalogue'.
My fridge is an Indesit MC05 undercounter, 55cm wide and 58cm deep. I can fit the bucket in the bottom (the very bottom minus clear plastic drawer) and there is plenty of headspace for airlocks and blow off tubes.
Note that I don't think it would fit with the thermometer attached; I have no need for it.
Given that it fits my fridge I would imagine it would also fit a 60cm width/depth under counter fridge as well.
For info I've had it four years and it was a fiver off ebay, dunno how old it is...
