Keezer with hard-piped Beer Line

[corychamplin]

Idylis 5 cubic foot chest freezer from lowes
johnson controls digital thermostat control from amazon i think
kegco stainless coupler amazon
keg coupler low profile elbow bend (modified with by cutting off thread then welding on 3/4 TC)
3/4" tc 45 degree elbows, clamps, gaskets from glacier
3/4" ss tube from local metal supply
1-1/2" TC ferrule with 3/4 tube diameter from ebay
1" TC ferrule modified (cut off tube enlarged hole to 1" ID then welded to modified faucet)
perlick SS with flow control modified, ground off rear threads, welded on modified 1" ferrule

I made this because the brewing industry puts a lot of effort into eliminating threaded connections and hose barbs except when it comes to beer dispensing. This is my attempt at eliminating hoses and minimizing threaded connections in beer dispensing.

Holy cow! How did you manage to miss the evaporator and condenser coils with that chunk of stainless steel?

The frost line when you turn on the freezer show that the coils stop about 8 inches from the top.

Ok, but that's just the evaporator loop on the inside of the insulation.
There's also the condenser loop on the outside of the insulation.
I guess they must reach the same height to have missed both of them...

Cheers!

I guess I'm lucky, hit nothing but insulation. I'd rather be lucky than than good!
