Alright finally after much struggle and a little getting ripped off the keeper is built. I'll post up pictures soon.

On the topic of the tubing: I have yet to get beer into the line but I tested it with water and sensed very very little off taste to it. I left water in the line over night and then gave it a test and I have a fairly sensitive palate to plastics so I am broadcasting this tubing as good at this point. After a few pours Ill start a thread about it.

I built a rolling platform for my 20 cu ft freezer with 5 " clearance height wheels on it. That in addition to my 2x10 collar the faucets are at a great pouring height.

HUGE ups to alphaomega and wilconrad for putting together/selling a boxed thermoregulator at an incredible 50 dollar price point. Way way way more functionality than what is needed in a simple keeper but quite frankly it was cheaper and in some cases easier to use than simple thermometer type units. I checked it with two different thermometers and it is keeping my ridiculously old freezer with exactly the hysteresis I have it set to. So help these guys so they can keep helping us.

Harbor Freight is your friend. Unless you are planning on making this your daily tool take the 50-80% discount and don't whine about it.

So all in all thanks for the help everyone. I'll keep updating until the beer starts flowing. :mug:

EDIT: I forgot to say- word to the wise I'm sure everyone is more intelligent than me and already knows this but check your craigslist buy before you hand over the money. Even if the seller is confident and nice and accommodating and even if you you drove four hours to pick it up. Make them show you it working.
