    Chest Freezer Kegerator Question

    Got it finished! Just need a keg to test it out =) And the inside was actually 29" high so there'll be plenty of room for the coupler. Here are some pics of the finished product and the building process. The blue fan box is a tower tap cooler. I used the instructions on this site (...

    Chest Freezer Kegerator Question

    Another dumb question for those of you with tower taps. Will it be necessary to have a tower tap cooling device from the get-go or will I be alright with using it for a while before installing one?

    Chest Freezer Kegerator Question

    Right on. My keezer should fit a corny with a standard coupler then. Thanks for the info =)

    Chest Freezer Kegerator Question

    I just went ahead and bought a controller for $50 on ebay though..it's basically impossible to have it set to 37. I clicked it one hair up again and it went below 32. I'm thinking now that it won't work without the temp control..

    Chest Freezer Kegerator Question

    Yeah it can. The adjuster goes from 1-7..off being the lowest setting. But you can adjust it in between those numbers to. When you have it at just a hair past "off" it is around 40 degrees. I started at 1 but it was too cold. The water in the bucket was freezing after five hours and there was...

    Chest Freezer Kegerator Question

    At it's lowest possible setting the freezer runs at a steady 42 degrees, so it's definitely possible to get it to 37. Just have to tweak it a bit. I'll definitely buy a temp control later..but this should work while it's still in its testing phase. Cheers!

    Chest Freezer Kegerator Question

    The temperature gauge knob on it's very lowest setting has the temp at a steady 42 degrees. So it's definitely possible to have it set to 37. Just have to tweak it. I'll definitely buy a temp control device later, but for now this should work while it's in its testing phase. Cheers!

    Chest Freezer Kegerator Question

    Awesome thanks. Do you use low profile couplers or standard 6inch couplers?

    Chest Freezer Kegerator Question

    Can I get a second opinion on the collar? Will 28.5 Inches be tall enough for a 1/6 or Corny Keg? And will I need a low profile coupler? I'd really rather not build a collar. I don't have the equipment to build one.

    Chest Freezer Kegerator Question

    https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/how-tall-keg-generally-keggle-233308/ Is that thread accurate? I guess it wouldn't kill me to go with cornelius kegs...I know they're a wee bit shorter.. But there are low profile couplers that only add an inch height? I'll look into that.

    Chest Freezer Kegerator Question

    What? For real? I thought Cornelius kegs and 1/6 kegs were 22-23 inches..damnit.

    Chest Freezer Kegerator Question

    Yeah that's a solid idea. I will do that. I'm not picking it up til tomo..but I just stopped in today to pay for it / measure the inside.

    Chest Freezer Kegerator Question

    The description of the conversion kit I bout said 28 inches will work. Since it's in between 28.5 and 29 I think I should be good. The height of the actual kegs are 22-23 inches so There is around six inches for the connecter.

    What fridge should I use?

    If you're getting a mini fridge just be sure that that freezer piece isn't in your way from the get-go and that it's tall enough and wide enough on the bottom shelf and you won't have any problems. I had the same problem with the mini fridge I was gonna convert. I gave up on that and just found...

    Chest Freezer Kegerator Question

    Hello all! Glad to be a part of the forum. I'm pretty new to this whole deal so forgive my lack of knowledge here...but I am wanting to turn a little chest freezer into a Kegerator. I'm doing a very basic set up. A single tap tower coming from the lid connected to a 1/6 keg with room to hold a...
