Another Newbie Keezer Build

[Sam Gilchrist]

Hi everyone.

New home brewer here, and just wrapped up my second all-grain batch and thought I'd show a couple pics of my Keezer build, which has performed flawlessly so far. Started with a 7.2cu ft. Danby chest freezer, which is large enough for 6 corny kegs on the floor. I added my collar, which consisted if a spruce outer shell, with 1/2" purple insulation sandwiched between the wood and a 1/4" inner shell of puckboard with seams caulked and screws capped to clean up the look. I've run my CO2 in from the outside, using O-rings to sandwich the gas tubing and prevent excess air loss through that hole. My thermoprobe and fan line run in from the back. Right now, the collar and lid are at the same temp, and I can somewhat conclude that the insulation is working well to prevent excess loss of cooling. Overall, I am very pleased. Now to figure out a good way to label the taps... dry erase markers are not exactly dry-erase on the freezer surface.

Would love some feedback from any of you seasoned home brewers.

Which model Danby 7.2? DCF072A2 OR DCF072A3?

Do you mean six total, or six on the the NON-hump floor?
