I had an exposed freezer plate in the refrigerator that I initially used, but the compact freezer is all freezer and not just a plate. There is a small amount of frost in the freezer, but its not really accumulating.
As far as the air flow through the barn wood, that’s on the back portion that is not on the inside of the keg box. I have the front edge of the freezer sealed, opening into the box. If this part were inside the insulated keg box portion, I think it would be 80 degrees in there.
As far as the CO2 tank, I get what you are saying, but I have a remote digital thermometer in the box, so I don’t have to open the box to check the temp. And I haven’t adjusted the pressure lately. In fact yesterday I pulled the kegs out and added as much insulation inside as I could while still being able to have those two sizes of kegs. Overnight the box only had a 5# CO2 tank inside and the temp only got down to 53. That said, it’s looking to me like I’m going to have to rip out all of this insulation and use the pink stuff, in which case I can run the tank outside the box.
Does your gut/experience tell you that my issue is with the type of insulation or the freezer/refrigerator?
Thank you for any help you can give. It’s a beautiful bar with two taps that I desperately want to have work.
