Hey guys. Alright, so I have a kegerator. It's a converted full-size fridge with 4 taps and a freezer section that I keep pint glasses and hops stored.
The freezer is in my enclosed porch which is basically a roof and floor and walls with 3 corners of it screened in about 4 feet tall. Hard to explain I know. here's a photo:
The kegerator is where my grill was so the coils are enclosed (not exposed) but it's basically "outside" for this question. It can get rained on / feel the wind.
------
So, the low last year was about 30 below and that lasts for 2 weeks or so. I'm up just south of Canada at 900 Feet elevation. From October - May, it can get below freezing and for most of christmas, I'm at 5 degrees or less.
The question is...WTF do I do about this? Do I have to move the fridge inside? Or can I simply unplug it and keep serving beer throughout the winter? At such extreme temperatures, will my kegs and beer and lines freeze?
Thanks.
This is my yard 4 months out of the year..it's pretty intense -
