We are in the early stages of planning out the layout of our brewpub. We plan on using a large cold room to keep 6 3bbl single-walled brite tanks cold. I was hoping to build a custom cold room located behind the bar. The original idea was to have windows on the front side so customers could see the tanks. I didn't want the cold room to look like a typical walk-in cooler (i.e. a box with a cooling unit on top). I wanted it to be an actual room with walls that go all the way up to the ceiling (about 9-10 ft.). I also wanted to install a sliding glass door.
I stumbled across an opportunity to purchase a used cold room with a compressor and condenser that are only 2 years old. The cold room is 12'x16'x8' high. He's only asking $5,000 for it, which sounds like a great deal. The only problem is, we planned on building a custom cold room (one that actually looks like a room, not a walk-in cooler).
Should I buy the cold room and use the parts to build our cold room? Should I ask if I can just buy the compressor and condenser? Will we be able to use any of the other parts when we build ours? I would hate to pass up such a good deal if we could end up using some of the stuff for our "custom" cold room.
Thanks for the advice and sorry if this is confusing.
