Chest freezer kegerator size.

So there s a couple other instructables already about converting a chest freezer to a kegerator aka keezer but most of them use the expensive plug and play temperature controllers. Convert a chest freezer to kegerator or fermenter for 20. I wanted to use a chest freezer because it seemed like the simplest most energy efficient and most self contained kegerator that. However if you have a bigger space then by all means go bigger.

Chest freezer that i picked up on sale at hhgregg for 240. Commercial keg coolers with tap systems get pricey pretty quickly so i decided to convert an old chest freezer donated from a friend into a kegerator otherwise known as a keezer. Having a kegerator has been something i ve been wanting for a while now but i wanted something that could hold a variety of kegged beers. For this kegerator i used a black frigidaire 7 2 cu.

Not heavy compared to a kegerator chest freezers are really lightweight. I converted a chest freezer and it easily holds two 1 2 barrels 5 lb co2 tank 1 gallon drain container and two fans. As we ll cover later on a chest freezer can be used as a place to perform perfect fermentation under complete temperature control. It s a little more costly to build but in my opinion it is worth it and will be the most economical in the long run.

Electricity yearly cost is under 75 to run keep it full of beer and it could be lower. In my experience most homebrewers will be limited to the average size of a 7 cu chest freezer. Some homebrewers have up to 10 beers going at a time so having the ability to choose any size chest freezer needed to house your kegs makes this a perfect choice for brewers.
