Default completed keezer pics

I want to prost everyone that has gone before me for their pics and descriptions on keezer build. I have just completed mine. The only thing lacking at this time are handles for the faucets. They are being turned out of redwood burl by nostalgia. Can't wait to get them installed.

staining and sealing the collar

I only have 2 hooked up at the moment and they both pour perfectly.
since the gas line goes through the side of the collar I plan on getting a fire extinguisher holder hanging from the lip of the keezer to mount the CO2 bottle into. Yes I was short one valve for the regulator bank so my LHBS gave me a standard check fitting untill the valve comes in. As you can see in the pics it will keep 1 extra keg cold on deck for change outs.

sorry for pic size and quality I'm still learning

I would move your Johnson outside of the keezer. It is too moist of an environment and your Johnson will rust if left in there too long.

unfortunately this temp controller does not have a probe. it has a small circular coil that is mounted to the end of the case(must be an old model), so it has to be mounted inside. It was given to me. When it fries I will replace it with a digital.

Awesome job, looks nice and I like the trim on the collar.
The colors work together perfectly.
