After 6 years of brewing, I'm finally going to start kegging. (I know, I know.)
Pretty much everyone who posts about kegging on the internet seems to have a slick kegerator or keezer setup that they invested a ton of time and/or money into. I have a different plan: I want to buy a 7cf chest freezer from menards for $160, plug it into a temp controller with the probe hanging through the lid, and stick all my kegs & a co2 bottle inside with picnic taps. Cheap, easy, and seems like it should work fine.
But, am I missing something? Surely if this basic option just worked more people would talk about it? Or is it just that people like me who go with the cheap and ugly version are too ashamed to post about it online?
