ok so maybe im being really stupid, but can i turn this cooling system off overnight to save electricity, or will it use twice as much to get it back to temperature the following day???
Unless you have a super-insulated cabinet that would hold the temperature I wouldn't bother. Once you start the compressor back up it would have to pull the heat back out of the keg/beer. Two steps forward, one step back, so to speak.
