I've read about temperature differential issues with keezers in quite a few threads. I've implemented the recommendations, but I'm still getting a pretty significant disparity (12-15 degrees F) between the top (collar area) and bottom of my keezer.
Please tell me if you have any additional recommendations that I'm not doing. I'd like to minimize the air differential so the keg sitting below the hump is not at a risk of freezing, and the ones on the hump aren't too warm. My second thermometer measures the air at the top in the mid 40's, and the bottom in the low 30's.
- 5.1 cubic ft chest freezer
- 2x8 wooden collar, sealed to base with silicone sealant
- 0.5 inch pink board insulation inside collar
- Willhi temp controller set to 38F with 2 degree differential and temp probe in sealed mason jar w/ 6oz water
- Double computer fan mounted to lid, pointing downward
- 3 corny kegs inside
- 1 five lb co2 tank inside
- 1 container of damp rid
