Freezer for kegs

[ptpeter15]

Hi,

I was thinking about buying a Frigidaire chest freezer for putting my kegs in it and my CO2 tank. I just wanted to confirm that's ok to do? I'm not going to damage anything since its a freezer, am I?

you will need to buy a temperature controller to convert it to fridge temps so it don't freeze your beer....but to answer your question..yes, ok to do.

 

[ptpeter15]

ok, so I will need one of those controllers. do those do any damage since they are constantly turning the machine on and off?

Nope. Plenty of us use a temperature controller of some variety without issue. I've got two analog Johnson Controls temp controllers (one for my keezer and one for a fridge I use for fermentation).

which is better? digital or not digital?

IMO digital, easy to read, use and programmable.

Analog. Have two, work great. Both on chest freezers. What's easier than plugging it in and turning one knob?

ease? digital. easy and expense factored in more? analog
