since you already have a vent, I'd stick with that. I have a steam slayer, but that's only because I really didn't have any good way to get a vent in. You can attach a direct vent to your kettle lid, and then an inline, or terminal fan on your exhaust line. That should be a lot simpler and cheaper.
alternatively, I've heard of a lot of success making your own glycol jacket by wrapping your SS vessel with blue lay flat tubing to run the glycol through, and then wrapping insulation around that. Now you don't need anything inside.
the issue is that the rating of the air conditioner is not directly translated to its use as a glycol chiller. It has the 5000 BTU rating when it's operating at normal temperatures. (an AC won't chill below 60 degrees typically) So when you're trying to chill to 32 degrees or colder, the...

It's white and has a silly anime frog sticker on the...
just gonna throw this out here in this post. Anyone want to swap a 5lb co2 tank for my 7lb? Mine won't fit in my new kegerator. It's tall and skinny and perfect for a keezer.
