Andrew, I appreciate the cost analysis. Like you say, different strokes for different folks. I thought along the same lines and so bought Damp Rid at first, and found that it was a hassle for me. I admit there’s a bit of shekel to put out to get two EVA-Dry’s, but I wouldn’t trade them![/quote]
Different strokes for different folks: agreed. Also, depending on where you have your kegerator (and if inside, whether or not you use A/C regularly), your air moisture content may vary, and therefore situation may vary. That could greatly change the value proposition in favor of reusable media.

My keezer kegerator is in my basement at about 55% humidity and ~60 - 65F ambient, and holds up to 6 cornies, which is usually what’s in there. I recharge my Eva Dry’s about once every month or two (try to keep the silica balls BLUE) and this keeps the kegerator completely free of condensation. I’m a clean nut when it comes to the inside of my kegerator, and this helps.
I guess I’m in the minority here but I like Damprid. I bought the little basket/bucket thingy, and a bag of the refill. My 7 cu-ft and my 5 cu-ft keezers both get the little bucket and I have no moisture issues. I have to drain the bucket about once a year in each and refill the crystals. Each one sits in a low corner of the keezer. They work great.
