Hey all -
I'm working on a keezer conversion and am trying to determine the right collar size; I'd like to put some kegs on the compressor hump. But there's an extra complicating factor: the interior side of the lid has a plastic shell on it, as I imagine most do. This one is VERY textured though, there are parts of it that reduce the interior headspace by as much as 4" (other areas are as little as .25"). My question is: can I remove this plastic shell and leave it off with no ill effects? Obviously the insulative material will still be there -- but I don't know if the contours of the plastic have any useful properties (airflow?), for example. I don't particularly care about the aesthetics of the inside of the keezer, so the "ugliness" of a bare lid is of no concern to me.
The answer to this would have a significant impact on my keezer's capacity: if I have to keep the plastic shell on, I can hold 4 kegs -- but if I can take it off (or at least cut off the more protruding parts of it), I can fit up to 7!
Anyone know?
