Mushroom Beer Tower

A friend of mine happened upon this bad boy at the World's Longest Yard Sale and picked it up for me for $25 bucks. It is cleaning up very nicely and I think most of the imperfections are going to come out. No dents or dings, just old chrome.

I'm trying to decide what to do with it....clearly my sanyo homebrew kegerator won't feed this monster so what are your ideas? A keezer seems to be the logical answer but I thought I would see what brilliant ideas you guys would have.

That thing screams to be mounted in a prominent place in your kitchen with a full-blown glycol system hooked to a basement keezer :rockin:

Cheers!

[edit] Ditch the old faucets and upgrade that ol' beauty with a full set of Perls...

You also need some epic tap handles on it...

I think you should sell it to me. I'll even pay you double

I'll pay triple! Great find

Now that's a friend give him a beer, or two chest freezer with a nice top

It is cleaning up nicely, I'm settling into planning mode for a keezer build to replace my existing kegerator and wine cooler beer cellar.

I just picked up a similar draft tower and was wondering what you used to clean it up. I'm not exactly sure what mine is made of but it looks very close to yours.

mounted on your counter with a keezer somewhere else would be awesome

I just used Turtle Wax chrome cleaner that I picked up at Autozone. Just followed the instructions and added a little elbow grease and it cleaned right up.

Yes it would. Sadly, we don't have the room for something like that.

Ordered an 8.8c.f. Kenmore freezer to start this project.

Slowly but surely making progress. Got the freezer. Got shanks and faucets. Got my dad working on the maple top. I still need to get either a CO2 distributor or add a 2nd regulator to the one I have.

NICE! Hope your buddy likes the beer you brew, you owe him.

Getting a little bit closer...



Dry fitting the pieces. The top is 1" finished thickness edge glued maple sitting out a 2-1/2" pine collar that will be faced with 1/4" maple plywood. The drip tray will be recessed in once I get everything positioned. Then assemble, finish, insulate and plumb.

This is Kenmore 8.8. Since I am removing the lid entirely, can I just unplug the cord to the lid lamp and high temp alarm?
