Based on information from Fil and others, I have been thinking about a fridge / kegerator device. Objective to cool in summer and reduce the winter exposure.
Does anybody have a more elegant and better solution (preferably one they can sell to me) than:
Buying a used 60cm wide fridge of dubious origin from Gumtree and then hack chunks with my dremel out of it to run the gas in and beer out hoses?
My plan is to have plugged in from March to October, then just unplug it when it get nippy outside in the hills. Will live in my woodshed.... Pain for pouring drinks but never mind, I'll buy some 2 pint glasses.
Obviously concern is not being able to remove and clean the hoses in and out of the fridge.. Guess I could starsan through but will the beer in the lines go bad over the course of a fortnight?
Hope to have 2 x 20L kegs in there normally, maximum of 3. CO2 will be outside.
If no body has a good solution to sell me, then my concern is a crappy 2nd hand fridge compressor packing in after a few weeks and spoiling the fun.
Therefore is there a new fridge available which is both cheap and has sufficient space to fit 2 or 3 slimline crusader 20L kegs with Sankey S Couples?
No idea about taps.... What is considered a good option? ..bearing in mind it not a decorative item, just functional.
Many thanks. I'm sure this going to be another rapid learning curve as well.
