We are currently renovating our house.

It has a large pantry off the kitchen. I'd like to install a tap line in the pantry for easy access to beers when entertaining. I'm thinking of 4 to 6 taps.

We are going to put a 20 cubic foot stand up freezer in the pantry for storing our various frozen foods.

We also want to install a bunch of cabinets in the pantry for storing various things.

In order to maximize the amount of cabinet space available, I'd like to avoid installing the typical keg freezer/fridge in the pantry. I'd also like the beer that comes out of the tap line to be instantly cold so that I don't have to pour 2 or 3 beers before getting beer at the proper temperature.

I'm looking for ideas on how to set this up.

Is there a way to use the freezer as the source of cold for the system without resorting to circulating glycol ?

Would it be practical to insulate one of the floor cabinets as the storage space for the kegs ?

Thanks
