Chest Freezer Kegerator Size

Save money buying in kegs is cheaper than by the can and taste better.

Chest freezer kegerator size.

If you re willing to get your hands a little dirty cheap contro. A chest freezer kegerator is a great option if you want to have more than 4 beers on tap at one time. 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. I wanted to use a chest freezer because it seemed like the simplest most energy efficient and most self contained kegerator that.

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. 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. Not heavy compared to a kegerator chest freezers are really lightweight.

In my experience most homebrewers will be limited to the average size of a 7 cu chest freezer. However if you have a bigger space then by all means go bigger. Electricity yearly cost is under 75 to run keep it full of beer and it could be lower. 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.

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. For this kegerator i used a black frigidaire 7 2 cu. More beer you can add different kinds of beer depending on the size of the freezer.
