Hi guys -
I live in a big (for a major city), old apartment. Tons of living space, but almost no storage, and no private basement access. I've got plenty of space in my living room to stash a 7cft keezer in a corner. I'd love to move to kegging/easy fermentation control, and the keezer seems like a good for-the-moment option. If/when I own a place, I want to do a through the wall build if there is a good location...
ANYWAYS, the point of all this is that I want to get a quick and dirty keezer operation up and running. Would it be possible to buy a used freezer, get the temp controller, and then just stick everything inside with picnic taps? I took a look at the schematics for all the 7cft freezers and it seems like lots of them are tall enough to not require collars...yet no one seems to post about their non-collared keezer.
thoughts? experience? I don't currently have any of the equipment and could go with the shorter pin-lock kegs (well, if I could find them) if that would make a difference.
