When you want to buy a chest freezer then you’d probably wondering just <a href="http://chestfreezerreviews.blogspot.com/2014/05/how-big-chest-freezer-do-i-need.html" target="">how big chest freezer do i need</a>? The chest freezers sizes will depend on just how much food that you want to store in the chest freezer and here’s an easy way to determine the right chest freezer size that will be suitable for your needs!
 
<h2>
How to determine how big chest freezer do i need? </h2>
 
First you need to make a plan just how much food do you need for a whole year, for example you can list all the foods such as half of cow, 2 pigs, 100 chickens, 2 turkeys and so forth, the smallest possible chest freezer that you can have is about 9 cu.ft while the large one is 35 cu.ft, while you can’t put all of them using one chest freezer, you can have several chest freezers to store all of your foods. 
 
If you don’t want to have several chest freezers then you’d probably can split your inventory so instead of one year inventory, change it into half of year inventory and how big the chest freezer will be is also depends on the size of your family, it means that if you’re a small family then you don’t really need a super big chest freezer. 
 
You also might want to check your local farmers and ask them if you want to buy chickens or a slaughter house and ask them for a special price, they usually have a much better meat quality than what you found on a grocery store and with a good price too.

On Sunday, May 18, 2014 Posted by Ms Kris Labels: chest freezers

If you love to brew then having a <a href="http://chestfreezerreviews.blogspot.com/2014/05/chest-freezer-for-fermentation-chamber.html">chest freezer for fermentation</a> chamber can be a dream coming true because just imagine being able to store a cold beer during that long summer days and today I want to share to you a simple way create your own chest freezer for fermentation and make homebrewing at home to be very easy. 
<h2>
Creating a chest freezer for fermentation</h2>
 
To create a chest freezer for fermentation you’d need to make the temperature to be more like a refrigerator because a chest freezer temperature is much colder then a regular freezer and that’s why you need a temperature controller. 
 
A temperature controller can stabilize the temperature inside your chest freezer by turning it on and off automatically but that way your beer will not be too frozen and easy to thaw and in order to do that you’d need a thermostat control unit. 
<h3>
Buy a thermostat control unit?</h3>
 
A thermostat control unit is basically an external tool that can be easily plug into a chest freezer and turn it into a kegerator by programming its temperature. 
 
I would recommend you to buy <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00368D6JA/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00368D6JA&linkCode=as2&tag=kekayonlin-20&linkId=I5TCK6FOKML2PKXR" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Johnson Controls Digital Thermostat Control Unit</a>, because it’s fully wired and can be used to program your chest freezer temperature by setting a target temperature so that it will turn off your freezer at a certain degrees easily and convert your chest freezer into a kegerator in no time. 
 
It’s a perfect small device that would be perfect for homebrewing and it’s very easy to use to keep the temperature inside your chest freezer at the perfect serving degrees, so go ahead and check out johnson digital thermostat controller and convert your chest freezer into a kegerator right away. 
 
Our last article is about <a href="http://chestfreezerreviews.blogspot.com/2014/05/the-best-chest-freezer-for-breastmilk.html">chest freezer for breastmilk</a> that would be able to store breastmilk much longer than a regular freezer. 
 
So that’s how to create a <a href="http://chestfreezerreviews.blogspot.com/2014/05/chest-freezer-for-fermentation-chamber.html">chest freezer for fermentation</a> using a temperture controller, it’s very easy right?

The right chest freezer temperature range

On Saturday, May 17, 2014 Posted by Ms Kris Labels: chest freezers

It’s very important for you to know the right <a href="http://chestfreezerreviews.blogspot.com/2014/05/chest-freezer-temperature-range.html">chest freezer temperature range</a> because if the temperature is too low or too high then it will ruin all the foods you have inside the chest freezer , the packaging for your foods is also play a big role in preserving your foods. So today I want share to you what is the perfect range of your chest freezer temperature. 
<h2>
What is the right chest freezer temperature range?</h2>
 
Different temperature range will have a high impact to your foods freshness, for example a meat will be well preserve in a temperature at 0°F to -10° and can last for about a year, but it depends on the packaging of your foods, if you’re using a vacuum package then it could last for about 6-8 months and in a regular plastic wrap is about 3-5 months. 
 
Please keep in mind that the best practise to maintain chest freezer temperature range is when you keep the chest freezer full and don’t take anything out frequently, for example when you put and taken out foods daily then it will disturb the temperature and there will be a hot air coming inside the chest freezer so to optimize your chest freezer you should put things that you’ve planned to store it for a long time and not putting something that you want to use on daily basis. 
 
So to recap, the right <a href="http://chestfreezerreviews.blogspot.com/2014/05/chest-freezer-temperature-range.html">chest freezer temperature range</a> would be at 0°F to -10° and it’s best to keep your chest freezer full and don’t open your chest freezer frequently to get a maximum result of storing your foods and also mind about the packaging because a vacuum package plastic will give you <a href="http://chestfreezerreviews.blogspot.com/2014/05/best-temperature-for-freezer.html">the best result</a>.
