Im going to be buying either a chest freezer ro fridge to chill corny kegs and was wondering which people thought was the better option, i will probably be carbonating my kegs in my cellar and using the fridge/freezer just to chill them for serving but i may rethink this depending on results, what do you guys think? What are the pros and cons? Also worth mentioning i dont intend to drill holes for taps or anything like that. cheers!
 
Up to you really and it depends on how many beers you want on at once. If you don't want to drill a freezer with wooden collar would be easiest and if you want loads of beers on it's freezer again. If you drink ales you probably won't need a cooler if you have a cellar, if you drink lagers it may be essential. Not all freezers have a drain in the bottom and they can rot out if left, always have a towel or something on the base and change it regularly.
