So I've been on the hunt for a nice chest freezer for a while now to convert to a keezer with the goal of being able to have 4 sankey sixtels on tap. For another project I'm looking into building a jockey box as well...portable beer and all...
So I was thinking about both of them last night as I got another frozen glass out of the freezer compartment of my mini fridge and another bottle from the normal section. Drank about half the beer enjoying how nice and frosted my glass was and I had an epiphany...
Why couldn't I just sit the kegs next to my mini fridge, then route the lines into my freezer compartment. Then just do it like a jockey box and pack in as many feet of tubing as I could while then routing it to a 4 tap tower on top? (or maybe a coffin style tower) The freezer is roughly .5 cu ft with the bottom plate being the chiller (rather than lines in the sides/top). The minifridge stays plenty cold with the thermostat only half way up, and if there's 4 lines in there as long as there's not a heavy draw on all 4 taps concurrently they should help to keep each other cold.
Has anyone tried something like this or have any ideas/thoughts on the potential success of it?
