I took the Plunge last night! What's First?

I picked up a 7.0 cu. ft. Whirlpool chest freezer from Craigslist! I am very pleased. It was hella cheap & it looks brand new. :rockin:

It's soaking in Oxiclean right now! Cleaning up an already clean freezer.

Help.

Obviously a temp controller- get the a419. Also get a freezer thermometer, they are $5 super saver on amazon. Another item is a pressure gauge and in connector and hose for your keg to get a real time pressure from each keg.

When you are done with your cleaning solution, mix up some sanitizer, put it in a spray bottle and spray the interior to sanitize it.

This is a good standard operating procedure and you will be safe from the get go. Now brew some beer up and start using it. Have fun.

Cool!

Dogfish Head 60 minute clone from Yooper https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f69/dogfish-head-60-minute-clone-ag-extract-25709/ is on the way! Brewing it right now!

Keezer project is my next DYI. I've bottled 2 batches so far with Revvy's help https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f35/bottling-tips-homebrewer-94812/ & saved some serious time. But, I'm already sick of it. I'm sure I'll always be bottling some. Have keg will not travel.

4 taps? Fan? I can't drink that much beer. Guess we'll have to start entertaining more!

P.S. This looks like a much cheaper version of a temp controller & it came with the fridge! I love HBT! https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/gu...mostat-32f-eliminate-external-control-249612/ Am I wrong?

First decision is are you going to use it for a fermentation chamber or a Keezer?

I guess you will need a temperature controller either way.
