Beer is the mind-killer. Beer is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my beer. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see it's path. When the beer has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
Step 14: I cut a piece of laundry board and used this as the replacement for the plastic on the top of the lid. I still used liquid nails to glue it to the lid.
Step 15: I glued and angle bracketed the skirt to cover the base in the same manner as step 13, then I glued the skirt to the base.
Step 16: I saved the original stripping to seal against the bottom of the chest freezer and then used a staple gun to secure it to the collar.
Step 17: I carefully lined up the lid to the top of the collar and then glued it to the laundry board on the lid. It lined up almost perfectly.
Step 18: I used some black silicone to use in the gap between the top lid and the collar since I used a thin piece of laundry board to replace the plastic cover on the lid.

Step 19: Install the shanks, and tubing the the two kegs that I have for now....don't worry more kegs are on the way from midwest (hopefully).
Step 20: I found a small piece of metal the lined up with the holes on the hinges to use as extra support on the collar. I think that I read somewhere that this will help prevent damage to the collar. I used some wood screws and screwed the collar to the hinges.
You can see that the hinges can support the weight of the wood, shanks, and faucets with no problem.
And now the (near) finished product....
All that is left is for my upgrade to the kegging system to arrive from midwest supplies so that I can add in more kegs, and a regulator. But beginning on Wednesday after my kegs can chill for 48 hours I will pour my first pint from my kegerator.
I may add a few more pics eventually once I actually add in all the kegs and the regulator. I may also add in two more faucets since I can supposedly fit 6 corny kegs in with the collar.

The inside dimensions are about 24"x16" and a height of 27" without the collar. I don't know the exact size of a half barrel, I'm using the plastic ale pail's to brew.

Bump! Just curious if you have any pics of the inside of the finished product. I have a similar freezer by Woods that has inside dimensions of roughly 16.5 x 26.5 x 27. But with the frigging compressor in the one corner, I only figure I can get 3 Cornys in it. Were you really able to get 4 in that one?
