Yeah, they’re working out, especially in the garage. After a few spills with my old taps, I had to try something. I have to get that email added to my UA-cam page for you;)
@@justhomebrew I had different issues, I overbuilt mine using galvanized pipe for the taps, couldn't service the taps because of that. Oh well lesson learned keep it simple. Looking forward to the email.
I'm just curious, do you guys not have dual mode chest freezers over there? Basically freezers where the dial start at like 10°C so you can set it to 4°C and not do the Inkbird thing.
Size, form factor, temp accuracy, and cost would be my considerations. I had a full size fridge for years for my keg system and it worked great. I think a chest freezer is more configurable than a fridge IMO, but either will work. I would go with another Keezer over a fridge if I were to do this again.
Love those taps, might need to change mine out. I've got a 4 tap keezer.

Excellent video John!
Glad you enjoyed it
These 7 cu ft freezers can actually accommodate 5 kegs plus a CO2 tank when converted to a keezer.
I never tried to fit 5 in any once. I use half of mine for homebrew supplies. Cheers!
Nice video. Can I know how you secure the wooden collar to the freezer? Just by the silicone caulk? Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the feedback! Yep, I just used a waterproof caulk. It held up great the last couple of years. Cheers!
Thank you for your fast response. I am planning to add the collar to me deep chest fridge soon so this is really helpful. 👍

Maybe, but not that I’m aware of. My freezer needed some sort of smart controller to accurately target temps.
Great video. Since you bought a new freezer for this project, is there an advantage over just buying a small fridge and putting taps in the door?

$500 is the 'my wife is watching my chanel' version of the costs. 😂
I tell my wife it’s an investment in my happiness:)
@@justhomebrew one tap is for carbonated water 'hopefully' does the trick
