Ice Cream Freezer Conversion?

[ScottishPete]

Hi All,

Has anyone seen a Friendly's type ice cream freezer converted to a Keezer before? Here is an image from Craigslist: http://images.craigslist.org/3k43p83le5O85T65S1a2ee45830f3af4516b4.jpg

Would I be able to build a collar without completely ruining the rubber seal? Would I even be able to get the sliding doors + seal off?

Thanks
Pete

Well even in a keezer build you have to replace the seal so I dont think that should be a problem. As far as the actual construction of the chest I think it would just depend on how its put together. Hard to ask people if you could do something without actually seeing it in person

I have something like this that I use as a keezer. The best approach would be to remove the glass sliding top panels, build a collar and new hinged top. Some of these freezers have an adjustable thermostat and don't require a controller to maintain fridge / beer temps. Usually they are pretty heavy duty commercial units which might be a +. I just use mine w/ [picnic taps inside the keezer.
