New Keezer??

[Spyksman]

How many Cornies can you put in a 24cu.ft. Chest freezer? Gettinf a new freezer to convert to a keezer. What is the best and cheepest controller to use? I know there are several on here but don't have time to reed them all.

A lot. lol

I can fit four cornies and my CO2 tank in my 7 cu ft. one.

So by my logic, I would guess at least a dozen?

i have seen 8 or 9 in a 13ft......have fun!

I fit 6 ball lock style kegs in my 10 cubic footer, so I'm going to guess you can fit at least 16 ball lockers in a 24 cubic footer. That's a lot of faucets

I use Ranco digital controllers on all my chillers, bought them unwired for ~$50 each from Patriot Supply via Amazon.

Cheers!

Does the Ranco work like the JC A419? I have one of them on my Fermation chest.

Gadzooks, how many taps are you planning to put in that monster?

Have the Kenmore 20 cu ft and have 14 ballocks no collar, planning 10-12 not quite sure just yet. I think you could get 3-4 more into yours.....go big or go home!

I was thinking about 10-12 beer and 3-4 soda plus some room for lagering. I like beer and the wife likes soda, I don't think she likes soda as much as i like Beer.

They're both single stage controllers, so for running a chiller they're interchangeable. The only functional difference I can see is the A419 has an adjustable "short cycle" feature, but I'm not sure that's worth an extra $20 over the Ranco ETC-111000 (Amazon prices).

I have one controlling my ferm fridge and the other controlling my keezer, work great, zero issues...

Cheers!
