Hi All
My second keezer just died. I think I have gone through two in the last 3 years. I think having a freezer cycle more than it is used to is really hard on the freezer. And it takes up a lot of space. I usually have only 2 corny kegs in it. I also went through 1 temp control unit already.
So at this point I am planning on switching to kegs in a fridge. But I am wondering what is the best option. My taps are through tap shank Perlicks and I am really happy with them. So the easiest would be to find an old fridge and just drill holes in the door and use my existing hardware.
Or do I go and buy a small Danby fridge and do the standard internet build and put a tower on top? These cost about 180 at costco right now, but at least I have a new fridge and not an old fridge that may die tomorrow. But then I have to buy a tower, which always come with taps, so I pitch the taps and use mine. OBK towers look like they start at 130ish. This would probably be the best looking, but I wonder about the reliability of these little fridges verses a big fridge.
So really I am wonder about what your thoughts and experiences are with these options. What do you guys think? What has worked for you?
