I built a coffin kegerator about six months ago. Made for four taps but just has one installed currently. Put my first beer in about four months ago and kicked it about a month ago. I’ve been sooo busy I have been unable to clean my lines out or brew another beer until now. Kept the kegerator running and set to 45 degrees F the entire time with the temperature probe hanging in the air right at the top of the keg. From keg installment to now. I also have had a computer fan pulling air from the kegerator up into the coffin box. Went to pull the empty keg out and clean everything and there is about two inches of ice in the bottom of the kegerator, freezing my keg and lines to the bottom. What are the chances that some weird temperature stratification caused colder air to settle on the bottom and freeze or is it most likely my probe went bad? What recommendations does anyone have to keep this from happening again if the probe isn’t bad?
Thanks in advance. I’ve attached a pic of my kegerator as well if anyone is interested.
