Hi all,
Not sure if this is the spot to post but here she is, my keezer.
Took longer than I thought to build but to be fair I did rebuild it twice (after adjusting)
It is just essentially a box of ply stained to match the dark wood in the rest of the house-SWMBO's condition to let it in the house :huh: surrounding the chest freezer.
The lid simply lifts off (to change/adjust kegs)and fits flush to the top of the chesty when put back in.
Have two 12vdc fans under the hood to circulate the air, and another one drawing air (from between the outside of the chesty and the wooden "shell")
but they're on a timer and only run maybe half a hour every two hours..
The first beer I've poured from her was nearly two months in the fermenter-definitely longer than I wanted :unsure: Baltic porter that I forgot to dry hop ~ 100g of Cascade and forgot to take a FG reading (1st time kegging so will use that excuse) but force carbed and although a little under carbed, still tastes the goods.
Just glad I keep a pretty clean ferment fridge and dark beers are a little forgiving.
Any comments/criticism welcome :icon_cheers:
