Custom Bar Build

Gfei · 10-07-2009, 05:33 PM

Been trolling around the forum long enough, figure I ought to post something already.

Made my first batch of beer (a kit which didn't actually require any real brewing

oh well...) and since I didn't feel like dealing with bottles I went straight for building a kegerator out of an old dorm fridge and some parts I had already laying around.

Which brought me to thinking it was about time to get started on the bar I had been planning on building. So... here is what I've built so far:

Left Opening will contain shelving for glassware and whatnot. Center will for the kegerator and bottom right opening for a wine cooler. Top right will likely be drawers and maybe ventilation for the refrigerators.

My trim work

Front view, that tile on the floor is a piece of what i plan to use for the bar top, you can also inda see my kegerator in the background

Not too bad considering I'm making this up as I go along.

Sorry about the links to the pictures, been a while since I've posted to a forum...

Very nice, and welcome to HomeBrewTalk!

Straight to kegging. I like it.

Looks like the bar could be sweet too!

Yeah, I had already made a batch of wine and cleaning/sanitizing/filling was a pain... and a batch of beer was going to take about 3x as many bottles. I did bottle a few from the keg for a weekend outing.

Thanks for fixing the images for me... I was so close when I first tried it, just had the wrong URL...

**IrregularPulse** · 10-07-2009, 05:52 PM

Just use the IMG tags and not the URL, But you can't post pictures until you have like 25-50 posts anyway so it wouldn't have worked for you still.

**dataz722** · 10-07-2009, 05:52 PM

I think you have to have 10 posts before you can do pictures anyway.
