Purchased a new Fridgidaire 7.0 cu/ft freezer today. Will be turning this into a keezer. I have already started collecting some of the parts, such as the 4 way regulator, the tubing, the ball lock QD's, and the taps. My wife asked that I put together a list of other stuff I need to get. So I've been looking at pictures of other peoples keezers and have come up with some questions....
1. What determines the necessary height of the collar? I'm assuming it's driven by how much clearance you need under the lid with the kegs in there, what you're going to mount to the inside of the collar, etc. But I've seen some pretty drastic variation in sizes so I figured I'd ask.
2. I would like to get one of these ITC1000 temp controllers. I think it's a cleaner look vs the inkbird hanging off the side. Problem is, I'm not an electrician. I can pull an outlet out of a wall, remove it and put a new one on because I can see where the wires were on the old one. When it comes to something like this, not sure where to start. I see that there's a ton of people who have done it though so it can't be THAT hard, right? Any info?
3. Definitely want to have a glass rinser on it. @mongoose33 has a nice one that I'm thinking of going that route, but wondering if there's any other examples of how this has been done?
4. I would like a CO2 hookup on the side for when it comes time to use a beer gun for filling. I'm actually thinking a beer and liquid line. The liquid line will just be coiled up and kept inside the keezer until it's time to hook it up to a keg to fill. Any examples of this being done?
I'm sure more questions will come about as these questions are answered. I did try and find answers to some of these questions before starting this post but had a hard time finding that.
Thanks.
