I'm moving to Hawaii in about a month and bringing a 2 tap kegerator (chest freezer w/collar) with me. Has anyone ran into issues keeping one outside?

Any other brewers in the area? Im in Hawaiian paradise park.

All grain brewer and mead maker. I have 10 gallons of Amber just about finished and ready to crash and keg (38% specialty grains = yummy). 2 separate fermenters - Chico and ESB yeasts. Plus 6 gallons of 1.120 lilikoi mead in primary on Cote de blanc.

Of yeah, Im using hop extract for bittering hops and aroma oils for dry hopping. I got these from a brewer friend of mine in Guam. Have extra to share if you are local. 1-2 ppm hop oil is great for Ambers and mild pale ales and the like and 6-8 ppm is fantastic in West coast styled pale ales. I have 5 varieties!

Aloha. Are you still home brewing in HPP? I'm in orchidland looking for supplies as a Xmas gift for my hubby. Can you advise me on what I need to start off n where to purchase supplies? I see one Honolulu shop and the Hilo brew co. On kinoole online but pretty sure they no more. Mainland co gonna charge $200 for shipping. But maybe i can get cheaper if i can find glass fermenting bottles here. Mahalo!
