I am getting ready to make the move into kegging and have been reading posts on this forum for weeks learning and absorbing everything I can.
I am struggling with what appears to be a common issue for most people that are new to kegging, freezer vs. fridge for my kegerator.
Many great posts on pros and cons so I am not asking for opinions on which is better. However I am interested to know how many people that have had chest freezers for kegerators have had to deal with mold/mildew issues from the moisture that builds up in them when keeping them at temperatures just above freezing.
I am currently using a chest freezer for fermentation temp control but am mostly brewing ales so I really have not had any issues with condensation.
How much of a problem is this with a keezer setup? Seems it would be a non-issue with a fridge but could be a PITA with a keezer if it happens often. What things are people doing to mitigate this, do you use something like damprid? Also are you treating the wood for your collars with something to reduce the potential of mold/mildew?
Thanks for all of the great advice, this site rocks :rockin:
