Hey all,
I've been looking for chest freezers to convert into a keezer for a little while now without much luck. I'd like to get at least a 14.8 cu ft size, but most of the ones I'm finding are quite old. So, my question is, how old is too old? Would you buy a 20 yr old freezer?
Couple options I have right now:
20yr old 20+ cu ft for $100.
10yr old 20+ cu ft for $200 (quite a drive to get it)
Or for those out there with experience, would you prefer two smaller size freezers (5-7 cu ft) over one big one? I plan on keeping about 4 kegs on top and I also want to be able to ferment lagers. I have a fridge as my current kegerator that I plan on using for fermenting ales.
Thanks for the advice! I know freezers are supposed to last a long time, but I'd hate to drop $100 on a freezer tha only last a few years.
