I haven't been on hbt in quite a while. However, my first Keezer build was inspired by this forum. The information I was able to gather from other members here was inspirational and highly informative. Unfortunately, my Keezer is beginning to die. The freezer is no longer able to hold a temperature below 50 degrees. Bummer. I attached some photos of the poor thing. I guess appliances don't last forever. Fortunately, I'd guess about 250 gallons of beer have flowed from it.
We have a smaller upright fridge in the garage our previous homeowners left us. I can easily fit 4 kegs in it. So that may be my future distribution system. Maybe it's not as elligtent as converting a chest freezer to a Keezer, but with some additional ideas from hbt, maybe I can create something new and unique. Fortunately, refrigerators have their cooling coils in the back with gives a lot more possibly to framing the refrigerator just right with wood, etc. Due to chest freezers having coils distributed throughout it's shell, I was only able to frame it in 1/4 mdf paneling ( which still looked fairly nice once painted).
RIP my Keezer friend.
