  • Effective Moisture Control: Our small space dehumidifier removes moisture in areas up to 333 cubic feet for 20-30 days before needing recharging. Longer lasting than traditional desiccant bags for moisture control needing to be microwaved
  • No Cables or Wires Needed - the wireless moisture absorber ensures No tangles or mess: 100% Cordless Dehumidifier! Perfect at home as a closet dehumidifier; gun cabinet dehumidifier, or safe moisture absorber for safes
  • Safe & Non-toxic - The spill-free design of the mini dehumidifier ensures no mess. The rechargeable desiccant is safe around children and pets (ideal for reptile tanks) and can even be used as around food as a fridge dehumidifier!
  • Space-Saving, Portable Design: Simple design suited to any setting and lightweight enough to take anywhere, whether it be in as or a reusable car dehumidifier, in a tent or in a gym bag.
  • Simple & Easy to Use Rechargeable Dehumidifier - Just position the reusable moisture absorber, turn on and check the colour indicator to monitor the moisture capacity of the dehumidifier. Once Green, plug it in to recharge it and Reuse!

 

This is similar in function to the Eva Dry E-500 – Hands on Review.  It contains desiccant beads that absorb moisture (in places like your kegerator).  The desiccant beads change colors as this takes place to let you know when the unit needs to be recharged.  Plugging in the unit activates the built in heater and drives off accumulated moisture. Unlike one time use solutions this is re-chargeable and re-usable.

This controller can control both a heating and cooling device.  Alternatively, it can control a heating or a cooling device.

In my opinion the original ITC-308 was and is a game changer as far as homebrew temp controllers.  In comparison to available controllers available at the time the ITC-308 was released, it offered loads more features, including dual stage control, for a fraction of the price.  Game changer!  The addition of Wi-Fi control and monitoring to this great controller has made a great temp controller even better.  Check out our Hands on Review of the ITC-308.  That includes a section on the WiFi version.

Using a layer of defense to detect against kegerator CO2 leaks…

Placing a CO2 Monitor with alarm inside of your kegerator can serve as another line of defense to protect against co2 leaks and loss. CO2 should not be building up in your kegerator. A CO2 monitor with alarm can alert you of this condition.

This is not a replacement for checking for CO2 leaks using traditional methods, rather a another layer that could save you a trip to swap out a CO2 tank.

Three Top Tips for Keezer Conversions! + Limited Time Deal on Chest Freezers at Wal-Mart

keezer conversion tipsChest freezers are great. They’re generally well priced and they’re space and energy efficient and can be easily had.

The primary idea with a chest freezer is to… freeze food. Also referred to as Deep Freezes, most models do not go through a defrost cycle. That’s a bummer come manual defrost time but outstanding for energy savings and food preservation.


Limited Time Deal on Chest Freezers at Wal-Mart:

TCL CF073W, White 7.0 Cu. Ft. Chest Freezer

As of this posting, Wal-Mart this chest freezer on sale for $165. Shipping is also free to many US addresses.

TCL CF073W, White 7.0 Cu. Ft. Chest Freezer

You could use this to put together a freezer based kegerator/keezer (See: Tips and Gear for your Kegerator) or temperature controlled fermentation chamber.


Side note… Because of the lack of a defrost cycle, chest freezers are great for storing hops – our hop deals roundup


Many people including myself have repurposed chest freezers as kegerators or “keezers”.

What does Keezer mean?  Keezer = kegerator + freezer.

To do the conversion you basically add a compatible temp controller – Inkbird deals and reviews – that will allow you to operate a chest freezer at fridge temps.  After that add some taps, maybe a collar, some kegs and a CO2 tank and you’re off and going!

The problem: Chest freezers are generally meant to operate at freezing temperatures, not beer serving temps. This causes issues with condensation and airflow. Left unhandled these issues can cause other problems, like sanitation issues.

Through several iterations of my own keezer, I’ve experienced all of these problems. I have a library of tips and resources that specifically apply to serving draft beer, but these are the top three when it comes to keezer conversions.

In my opinion the original ITC-308 was and is a game changer as far as homebrew temp controllers.  In comparison to available controllers available at the time the ITC-308 was released, it offered loads more features, including dual stage control, for a fraction of the price.  Game changer!  The addition of Wi-Fi control and monitoring to this great controller has made a great temp controller even better.  Check out our Hands on Review of the ITC-308.  That includes a section on the WiFi version
