The 0812steved Patented CCing Doohicky8612 viewsFor those of you unable to (or not allowed to) acquire a fridge for CCing, this is my baby.
It is watertight and is insulated with polystrene fruit cartons (and highly decorative duct tape). I fill it with ice in the morning and top up with 4 cups of ice in the afternoon. Each morning I syphon out the water (5L/day) for the dog or the garden.
In this (February) climate it keeps the beer at around 12c, but from Autumn to Spring it comes into its own - keeping the beer well below 10c, and not using as much ice.
It may be ugly (thanks for noticing) but it does the job. I can provide detailed plans for those who need them.......0812steved
