Heating for a Keggerator..is this suitable

[Wez]

If I wanted to set up a chest freezer to also have a heating element (controller by an ATC800) would this be suitable?

Tube Heater

If not what would be best to use?

That's all I was going to use when I get round to it.

 

[Wez]

Cool - which one would you go for JB?

 

[jamesb]

How big is your keggerator?

I was going to start off with 60w and move up if I needed to. They're cheap enough.

Yep I think the 16" 60w one will do the job :thumb:

I have an 80 watt one . . . its more than capable of taking the temperature up to 35C in a few hours when your temperature controller throws a wobbler . . . Don't ask how I know this :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: also don't ttry to drink Lager at blood heat . . . . Had to watch the Irish game sober when I had planned on being three sheets to the wind nad not giving a toss who won or lost :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

My initial concern was using one inside a fridge because of moisture but I guess thats not a problem ?

Aleman - where is best to mount it and how have you attached yours?

The Keggerator will be holding 4x Cornies (quite snug..)
