Hi guys,
I've been doing home brew for about a year now, and I'm starting to get very much into it. I've made an IPA, a Heff, and a Pumpkin Ale last fall.
I was yesterday at the home brew store in town, and I saw an interesting idea and I wanted to get someone else's opinion before I set down that road.
They had an ice chest with two holes drilled on either side of it, and a hookup for a keg on each hole. Inside, connecting the holes were two wort chillers. Beer goes in the chiller, cooled off by the ice in the ice chest and out the other side.
What do you think about this idea? Is this a good one? i was actually thinking of taking it one step further and putting chillers inside a fridge, rather then in an ice chest. Why or why not would I want to do this? My hope was that I could use a single fridge to chill 6-7 kegs, having the kegs on the outside of the fridge. This way I dont have to put the entire keg in the fridge.
What do you all think?
