......Will I notice the compressor running less if I insulate? Thoughts?
Thanks!Simple, elegant, I like it! I'm going to start kegging with something similar later this summer. Nice work! I especially like that you insulated the collar with foam, it seems nuts not to do this.
Sure. It started as a 7.1 cu ft freezer. I made a collar from 2x12’s and then wrapped the entire thing in 1/4 red oak plywood to match the bar that I built a couple of years ago. The plywood is held to the freezer with construction adhesive since I couldn’t use screws. To make sure I had adequate airflow I removed the standard screen on the side of the freezer and replaced it with decorative black mesh. This looks nicer and provide a lot more ventilation.Hey @DBC can you share some details on that freezer? How many ball locks can you get in there?
Insulating it definitely helped and it was very easy to do. I used 3/4 inch foam insulation boards I found at Lowes and put them in with construction adhesive. All in that part of the project took 20 minutes.
I also added a dehumidifier because I noticed s lot of condensation.
