I have a chest freezer that I want to use to control fermentation temperature, that I'm hoping to use to with two five gallon beer batches. Unfortunately, the bottom of the freezer has two levels, making it impossible to load two round carboys into the freezer at the same time. There is plenty of space for the beer volume if I can get a carboy of the proper dimensions.

Is is possible to a make a custom carboy shaped to use the space more efficiently? Can plastic sheets of the same type used in carboy buckets be purchased easily?

Any food-grade container can be used as a fermenter, so yes you can build/buy whatever shape you want.

Look at the usplastics site. They have food grade containers that are more rectangular. Yes, they are not glass, but plastic is fine anyway.

I'd try making a collar for your freezer lid to raise it and make room for your fermenter. Far easier and more realistic than trying to build a fermenter.
