Beer Cave Cooler

Over the last couple of years we've seen walk in "beer caves" pop-up all over grocery stores and liquor marts. These cooler units serve not only as a convenience aspect to the customer but also as marketing tool for the business owner or retailer since their customers can have the whole experience of "picking their own" cold beverages from the actual storage cooler.

We recently received one of these used units which is in excellent shape. Click here to see some photos and specs for the walk insulated panel and automatic glass door door package.

Ice Production Basics

Madison Gas and Electric (a power company serving the city of Madison, WI) created a nice website describing the basic concepts behind ice production and the different types of ice used among the different industries (packaging, fish & seafood etc).



They also cover some general electric requirements and use for the types of ice machines most commonly used (for example in restaurants). Click here for a link to their website.

Hope this link is helpful if you are in the market for a new or used ice maker.
