So I am looking to keg my next batch, which is already in the fermenter as of Saturday 3/14/11. I would like to put my kegs in a freezer and use a Digital Temperature Controller to adjust when the freezer is on. My assumptions on this are that I set the control temps, both min and max, and the controller turns on the power for the freezer while it needs to run. How, far off base am I on this? I do not want to tear the whole freezer apart at this point as I do not really have the money to replace it and buying it will be all I can afford at this point.
Later on I plan to take the top off and build my own top with taps installed. However, for now I plan to just open the lid and use the picnic taps to pour a glass. From my experience in hurricanes(FL) and earth quakes(CA) I know that freezers are good at holding their temps for days as long as the seal is not broken. So I am thinking this could be my quick way of getting my beer chilled in the kegs and I will only be breaking the seal when I want a beer.
TIA
