Fan for inside Keezer/kegerator

[nixhaz]

Hi all,
Got a slight problem with nearly empty kegs freezing inside my keezer, just wondering if anyone can suggest a suitable fan to use inside it to keep the air moving. I believe the problem is that the cold air is pooling at the bottom and freezing the kegs. I've turned it up a bit but don't want the beer a lot warmer than it is currently.

What temp do you keep it at and where does your temp probe sit?

4 degrees and the probe is about a third of the way down. I've upped it to 6 degrees now, btw.

Is the probe just sitting there against the side of the freezer? One of the things I did early on was put the probe in a gallon of water. The air temp fluctuates more quickly than liquids inside the kegerator. That helped me get more consistent temps inside the kegerator. I also keep mine around 7 degrees.

Yeah, it is just floating around. I will give that a try. Do you have a fan running or do you think that's not necesssary?

I don't use a fan at all.

You can see the probe runs into the smaller container of water below.

That's a great idea, I'll implement that!
Thanks
