Keezer build project, which thermostat? Fan wiring?

Post by Wozboy » Tue May 26, 2020 10:25 am

Hi,

I'm looking to build a keezer and currently trying to sort a freezer suitable, probably going to get a large 5-6ft freezer to convert as I want to be able to store about 8 kegs ideally to allow some maturing of brews.

Which thermostat should I use? There are loads out there and I'd be interested to know which people would recommend? Would it be possible to use a thermostat to control the temperature of my heating trays as well for brewing? I've seen some that have a cooling and heating function can they run in tandem?

Due to the size of the keezer I also want to install at least one fan for air circulation and would like to wire this in to run off the same circuit as the thermostat if possible, is this easy enough? I'm not an electrician so pictures showing wiring would be great or a detailed explanation would be good.

Any other stories and tips for building would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Warwick.
