keezer condensation

[walker111]

I moped the keezer out yesterday as I have 2 beers almost ready to keg so thought it would be a good time to do so. Cut and assemembled 4 new beer lines. Took the taps and shanks apart..... you name it.
Looking to help prevent some mold and condensation . What are some of you using in this case? Was thinking a small dehumidiifer of some type. What are you using and is it helping?
Thanks.

I used to have a mini dehumidifier in mine. it died.

not using anything but I don't have any issues either that I've noticed. But its inside the house, not garage or patio, so that might help.

I also set mine at like right about freezing point.

I use a pair of these Eva Dry e500 units - with 40mm fans velcroed to them to drive the air in.
Very effective that way...

Thanks DayTripper. My keezer is only 5 cubic feet with 4 kegs and 10 pound CO2 when full so thinking one eva and a small computer fan to start. Think I have a few fans from my boys building their computers. Maybe a old phone charger to power?

Assuming the phone charger is for 5V DC you could buy a 5V DC fan ...

Cheers!

Two things work for me on mine - 1.) a product called "Damp Rid" - comes in a reusable vented container and has a baffle to allow condensation to drop into the bottom of the container; 2.) a 120mm computer fan (as above) and 12vdc adapter (any dc PC fan will work, this was an extra I had at the time). I tied this into a simple switch that goes open when I lift the keezer lid. The Damp Rid is available in bulk to replenish the initial container.

A PC fan with a power adaptor is the simplest way to help with condensation along with a Damp Rid/Dri-Z-Air dehumidifier. The "rechargeable" dehumidifiers can work well too, just have to remember to check them monthly.

This is my setup and it seems to work fine.

Thank you all for the input.

I did exactly this with an old Apple block and the computer fan wired to a USB plug. So simple, a theologian can do it!
