I'm looking into getting a chest freezer keezer. Was wondering what kind of fan (if any) folks use.

I'm looking into getting a chest freezer keezer.
I use an AC Infinity low speed fan. I have nothing but good things to say about that brand. They have several options: 120V, 12V, low speed, high speed, size, etc.
I positioned it on the bottom, beneath my faucet shanks, blowing upward. I put little pieces of vinyl tubing on the screws that came with it to make "feet" for the "legs" that hold it off the bottom of the freezer.
This fan arrangement works really well. I get a temp differential of 1-2 degrees between the bottom and top.

I routed my beer lines around the perimeter for two reasons. The first is to keep them out of the way when changing kegs. The second is so that cold air being blown upward can circulate freely around them.
I don't have foaming issues even with short (7ft) lines. Right angle shank adapters and flow control faucets provide some back pressure, even with the flow control wide open. It all balances nicely, and makes good pours without having long loops of tubing that are in the way.

...I suggest using a refrigerator w/ the ability to dehumidify, especially if you live in a humid climate....I had keezers for years and they were always swampy wet and moldy inside....and required cleaning etc...
i must ask, what size and model freezer do you have?I use an AC Infinity low speed fan. I have nothing but good things to say about that brand. They have several options: 120V, 12V, low speed, high speed, size, etc.

.. hmmm...i think i need to get away from the pin style converter kegs. As mine sits, i can only fit 3 in mine (coke styles)... 4 would be nice.Magic Chef 5.2 cu.ft. It holds 2 5gal corny kegs on the floor, and two 3gal kegs on the shelf.
I got it for $90 brand new, the box was slightly water damaged. I was originally looking for a freezer to hold four 5gal kegs on the floor, but when I came across that deal I just bought it. Turns out it's just right.
