- Turned into a hot day, which didn't bode well for the #keezer. Just Kegged some beer, so lowered the keezer temperature for carbonation - compressor running for 3hrs and the temperature hadn't dropped, only a very small patch of ice on the wall at the bottom of the compartment. Now hunting for a replacement freezer.
