Hi all, so, like most home brewers I have several fridges scattered around - one in the bar (Kegerator) and two in the "brewhouse" (Inkbird controlled for brewing)
Now, I'm quite keen to be shot of them. I want more bench space in the bar and the fridge doesn't really look right in the bar. Plus it would be nice to have room for more taps - 3 is the most my larder can take and whilst that's "ok" i'd like to expand a bit.
So, I was wondering about converting to the use of Maxi coolers?
The questions:
My "brew/bar" is a long garage, 9m x 3m. The front is where I brew, being 3m x 3m, the rear is the bar, being 6m x 3m - each seperated by a partition.
I want to be able to store kegs that are conditioning at a consistent temp - was thinking of possibly a ferminator:
https://www.geterbrewed.com/ferminator-basic/but probably re-use one of the fridges as one could probably take 4 kegs with some jiggery pokery.
I want to be able to have "on tap" kegs kept in the brewery end. And ideally routed through the partition, into (i assume) a maxi 310 or larger, ands direct into a beer engine/tap/something..
Additionally I want to be able to temperature control 2 fermenters - ideally being 14 gal brew buckets or something like that.
Is this all "possible" with Maxis? is it worth it? am I better off just sticking with my multitude of fridges?
Now is the time for me to do this as the bar area hasn't got a bar made as yet, so I can work around this plan to put it all in. Gas can stay in the bar or be moved to the brewery, whichever is easier.
any help would be great. I just want an easy temperature controlled setup from brewery to bar.
