Where are you going to put your taps?

You know, if I were to do it over, I'd put my taps closer like you got Bier.

I'd at the very least be able to take advantage of a smaller drip tray.

Thankfully I have two beer-loving dogs that help keep the floor clean from drips.

Through the side of the freezer near the top. I'm leaning more towards the collar though. I like the idea of a little more room.

As I understand it, chest freezers have the coolant running around the entire box, so drilling through the side is VERY tricky.

OK, I'm back for round 2! All my gear is moved over to the new side-by-side and I'm pleased as punch with it!




Dry yeast and washed liquid yeast are both saved in the door, and I can fit a 30pack of High Life on the top shelf with room for 2-6'ers of bottles to spare!!

Now my Hop stash finally has a place to call its' own, and SWMBO isn't missing her precious freezer space!!!!
