New Question. I'm probably going to start kegging soon. I'm getting tired of washing and filling bottles with every brew.
In my garage i have a chest freezer i use for fermentation control, and a beer fridge to store my beer. The freezer is attached to a temp Controller.
I've wrestled with this in the past. Do i simply convert the chest freezer to a keezer, and buy a small fridge for fermentation or do i just buy a small 2 tap kegerator, or convert a small fridge to a kegerator.
Keezer
Pros: Would be able to have multiple taps. Will start off with 2. Only material costs would be for upgrading it. Can make it look really nice.
Cons: Lose fermentation space. Though it hasn't happened yet, if i brewed 2 brews at the same time, i'd only be able to ferment 1 at a time in a small fridge.
Kegerator
Pros: will be able to keep my current setups as is. Still have the chest freezer for single or multiple fermentations at one time.
Cons: Won't look as nice as upgrading the Keezer. Limited to only 2 taps (which honestly is more than enough).
I think i'm leaning kegerator, just seeing what the fellow homebrewers opinions are.

How big is the beer fridge? If it's big enough I would use that as a kegerator and still use the freezer as a fermentation chamber.
