I'll be 70 this year and haven't yet had to resort to rigging up a hoist. Maybe next year I might.

It's getting out of bed that's the problemFor the beer, or getting in and out of the bath?

Have you thought about something like this (watch from about 17 mins) only with beer?

I should be able to manhandle full kegs in and out. We've also planned for a removable front section of the collar too, which will mean less height to lift the kegs.Have you thought about how you're going to lift full kegs into the freezer? I think I'll be able to fill mine in-place but will have to do some height measuring to be certain.
I want to avoid having to lift and lower them when full because one day I can see that going badly wrong.
I just measured mine and I have a few centimetres drop between the FV outlet valve in the brewfridge and where the top of the keezer collar will be. Should be enough to transfer in-place but it'll probably get slow towards the end. If it doesn't work out I'll have to buy one of these as I don't fancy either lifting and leaning or tottering on stepladders. I just know that one day I'll clatter into the pipes and delicate JG fittings or do my back in.Good point about filling in place, I could put the FV on the adjacent food freezer and gravity feed that way. Good idea.

Long night but almost finished. Just need another tap and some disconnects and we're there. Pretty chuffed.
