I have an idea. I have been scouring CL for used chest freezers and have made a deal to buy one for $50 only to hear from the seller that they think it died before I could pick it up. That got me thinking that buying a used freezer, then spending a ton of effort on customizing it, only to have it die may be a bad idea. Also, most of the CL freezers are not energy star freezers.
So, I want a fairly large one so I can run multiple sodas and a couple beers. I considered new but the cost for the size I want was around $450 for a 14 cf model.
Would it be reasonable to buy a 5 or 8 cf model and build a super collar (one that hangs off on end) and the make a second box for more kegs? I would have to make a new lid that would cover both boxes or have the original lid cover the new box and half of the old one ( have to slide kegs under).
The more I write, the more it sounds to me that buying a freezer at the right size may be worth the money.
So what do you guys think in concept about the super collar idea?
