Today is a sad day..

Woke up today to a seized up compressor in my chest freezer. Had about 14 gallons of beer in there. At least the best part is that black friday is only a week away so I can look for a new one.

Have a beer in its memory..

I thought drinking was to forget.

The important part of the story - was the beer ok?

I hope so. I managed to pull the kegs out and put it in my fermentation chamber. The temp got up to 60 ish, and I can only get the ferm temp down to low 60's. I will wait and see if its ok.

Warmed up kegs should not pose much of a problem. It would have been far worse if it was your fermentation chamber.

You don't have to wait for Black Friday. The sales have already started.

I am going to try and get the same freezer, that way all I have to do is switch the tops.

Sorry for your loss


Do keezers actually break down much more often than keggerators or are keezer owners just more vocal about? I ask this as someone that would love for their converted fridge to die so that they could justify building a keezer.

Beer should be fine. I've had beer out of fridge for a year in my basement. Gets in low 70's in the heat of summer. Was beers that I wanted aged though. Anything odd in you lineup?

Lid switch. ... nice way to save time!

The beer should be fine. If you don't like it just ship it to me! Have a good one!
