That's exactly why I wanted the grey one! :lol:

Lightning fast delivery too!

Thanks to the others for their suggestions too and sorry to Grahame for hi-jacking the thread but I think it's all relevant.

Totem they are pretty straight forward but here is the GW44208 Gewiss Enclosure i bought, along with the ATC 800.

That makes a very neat job of it mm! 8)

Even at £15.53 inc postage it's worth it for the end product.

I'm currently scanning the RS website as we have an account with them at work so I should be able to avoid the added postage.

How easy/difficult would it be to cut the required holes in the lid of a diecast aluminium alloy enclosure?

Finally got round to my ATC-800 and fridge conversion.

I'm very pleased with the result as it's working a treat! :D

Here's some brew porn action shots.

On top of one of the others?!

I could do with a third but to get it into my shed something else will have to go. :roll:

One fridge is under the kitchen worktop. A second (beer) fridge is in the under-the-stairs cupboard in the living room. A fermentation fridge would have to go in the garage or shed instead of something... :cry:

It sounds like you need to convert either your garage or shed in to a brew house and have everything in one place.

I'm out in the shed as I type surrounded by fridges, shineyness and a fermenting brew, I think I'm in heaven but my family think I'm mad and occasionally ask if I still live with them. :lol:
