Hey everyone!
I've been reading a ton of posts on here lately. I have a chest freezer that I'll be converting to a keezer and I had a couple of questions. If you have good links that answer the questions that would be awesome as well. The freezer fits 2 cornys without a collar (3-4 with). I'm looking to get something short term before investing more time and energy into something nicer / more expensive. I'd like to do a tower build as opposed to anything coming sideways out of the collar. I'll be working with just commercial kegs from my liquor store (for now)
1) I'll need to have beer lines going out of the keezer, CO2 lines running in, and a thermostat going in, correct? Is there anything that goes into / out of the freezer that I'm missing?
2) What are your thoughts on building a collar versus just cutting through the top of the freezer to run the beer lines out?
3) I'm looking to make a wood tower to basically replace the metal towers that come with tower kits. Other than insulating it and keeping it cool (computer fans or copper pipe is what I heard), is there anything important I need to consider?
4) Would this be the right equipment to get me started: http://www.micromatic.com/draft-keg-beer/kegerator-conversion-kits-pid-RCK-S-2.html?
Thanks so much guys!
