GE Freezer from home Depot $189.00
TS-21 Temp Controller from Dwyer $50.00
TS2-010 Temp Probe from Dwyer $10.00
Scenario:
I have a Wetbar in my Living room (Pics to come) that has its own storage closet. I plan to have the keezer in this closet then run beer lines approx 6' to the wetbar. This freezer appears to have enough room for 3 kegs, so I want to run 3 beer lines. Line cooling will be done via cold air circulation from keezer.
So here it goes:
Freezer as bought sitting in my driveway. I like the overall build and size of the freezer. I run 3 gallon kegs to save space and so that I can finish the keg before it goes bad. I can fit two of my kegs in the lower portion of the freezer and 1 on the step with my co2. Also the freezer has rear and side access to the compressor/electrical bay for rewiring.
Top view with keg and co2 sitting on the step
Time to get to work replacing the original temp controller with a digital one. The original is just clipped in and pops out easy enough. With the wires exposed its easy to see which ones I need to steal to hotwire the freezer
Original Temp Controller wiring
So i temporarily spliced in the digital temp controller. Originally I was planning on permanently locating it in the old temp controller home... but who wants to walk into the closet to peek at the temp. I am thinking I will mount it in the bar right next to the taps. Anyway here it is all hooked up and cooling as expected.
So up next will be planning the new lid that will allow me to run my beer lines and air cooled tunnel.
