As my Fathers Day gift from my wife, my new freezer was delivered today, which I plan to turn it into a Keezer (kegerator). I ordered the same brand as our other freezer, which the baskets will fit into it from this one as a bonus.
I'll use an external thermostat to control the temps, to keep it warmer than the freezer's dial will allow.
I setup an account with a local beverage supplier and stopped in and picked up a few pieces of hardware to get most of the project done. I also got a generous donation of a couple of taps from another member here.
The freezer will hold 4 kegs, but only putting 3 taps on it for now. I plan to use some of the space for storage and cold fermenting from time to time. The supplier had a nice stainless drip tray that was pre-drilled for the taps.
I also picked up an opener and cap catch bin for the front.
I'll need to build an expansion ring to go between the lid and freezer box and insulate the ring. I'll start the build this weekend, but in the mean time I plan to use the freezer for defrosting some pork butts and ribs to cook this weekend.
If I ever decide to give up brewing/drinking, I'm not planning to alter the freezer in anyway that can't be reversed and turned back into a freezer.
