Hi Derek, THANK YOU so much for this feedback! As a homebrewing content creator, I always wonder if I’m posting valuable content for viewers. There are so many great homebrewing channels out there, so I definitely appreciate you spending time watching my videos! It does take time, but it’s been a fun journey the past 8 months. I’m trying to improve the storytelling, production, and sound quality with each video. Good luck with your glycol build. Let me know how the build works out for you. Cheers!

Hey Healthbar645, thanks for the feedback! It was a ton of fun building:) Thanks for the sub!

Thanks for the feedback! I was very surprised how well this setup worked. It gave my glycol chiller a run for its money:) I like the simplicity a lot.

Hello, sure if front access is an important to your design. I used a full size fridge for years before building a Keezer. Worked just fine. I feel the Keezer is more configurable, less expensive, and works better for my space. Cheers!

@@justhomebrew Well, yeah, there is that part about cooling the kegs to serving temperature. I like mine cold, not slush like but in the low to mid 40 degree range. Still running my old Kegerator, 20+ years and it still works fine. I may start bottling again when we head into fall and the triples start to mature for winter delight. Even in very deep South Texas I still like my dark, thick stouts. For now, time to stick with light wheat varieties. Thanks for the video(s)

Ah, I see you asked about the fridge in my fermentation chamber video in your first comment. I thought you were asking about my Keezer video. I think a fridge would work just as well as a chest freezer. I don’t have data, but I suspect the chest freezer might be a little more efficient due to have a smaller space to cool if you’re only controlling the temperature of one 7.5 fermenter. I’m sure a fridge would do a great job and plus have the benefit of front doors for easy access for a fermentation chamber. I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos! Cheers!

Thank you for this feedback and thanks for subscribing! I really appreciate it! Lifting the fermenter will not disturb the yeast unless you happen to really shake it up for any reason. Even then, as long as you don’t introduce oxygen you’ll be fine. The only harmful thing you could do is hurt your back;) Funny you should ask because I’m upgrading my freezer so I can open the spigot without lifting it out of the freezer. Currently I’m unable to open the valve while the fermenter is in the freezer. The inexpensive route is the way to go if you’re just starting out. I’ve just accumulated a bunch of stuff because I’ve been in the hobby for 20 years. I’m still learning;) Cheers!

I’m not familiar with this type of freezer. You might want to reach out to inkbird or the manufacturer to see if this type of freezer would work with this setup. Cheers!

Thank you for the feedback! I’ll get you dimensions of my freezer. I don’t think you’ll have an issue fitting a 6.5 gallon carboy in there. Just be careful lifting glass in and out!

27.5in H x 12.5in L x 16.5in W inches on one half of the freezer and 18.5in H x 8.5in L x 16.5in W on the other half
