To be honest I am not at all the right person to answer the electrical wiring questions. I tried to wire it up as I thought I saw on the forum. However someone commented earlier that I didn't wire it up incorrectly. I attempted to put the controller in line with the factory power cord from...

I ordered the Taprite towers with all the goodies included right from AIH. Here is what came on the towers: -Pre-fitted with 3/16" ID X 5' long NSF approved tubing with 1/4" MFL fittings -The tower comes standard with 5' of beer line and 1/4" MFL fittings So you can see there is 5' of...

I have no idea why I still have the actual hole but here is a picture of the 2.5" hole saw I used. I started from the outside and then had to finish on the inside because the wall thickness is more than the depth of the hole saw. Good luck! Shane

Jeff, I measured the inside and you have just a touch under 26" of vertical height to put the kegs in. In my case that leaves an inch or so of space above the kegs to lay the lines. It's a bit tight but still works just fine. Good luck on the build! You'll love it! Shane

Here is another picture of the probe going into the top of the lid. Its not a great picture but it helps a bit. I also used black duct tape up the back of the freezer to secure the probe wire. Stealthy :-).

No worries. If you look in post 18 you will see the picture. I didn't want the wire to go under the seal so I drilled in the back of the lid and then dropped it in the freezer about 3 inches from the edge of the lid. It hangs from the lid and raises and lowers each time the lid is opened. It...

Exactly! Those stickers looked sweet :-). Awesome build by the way!

Red, Fantastic build. They indeed look like twins. Glad that I could offer some inspiration for the betterment of the HB community. Good looking drip trays. I was curious what they would look like. Thanks for the pics.

Here's what I recall for all the parts: Freezer from Sears 10# CO2 tank from local place (Purity Gases) 95% of all the rest from Adventures in Homebrewing (all of the hardware in the first few pictures) Remaining 5% of bits from (LHBS ... The used keg, air lines, air connections)

Wow, that seems a bit odd. I have my Controller set at 38 so temp swing only goes from 35 to 41 so the walls never freeze. Also as noted above, I keep my temp probe in the air rather than in water. I imagine if the temp probe was in water the air temp could swing further South which could...

I just checked mine today and it's bone dry. I Generally don't open it much at all so maybe that also contributes to the moisture getting in? Or maybe there is another way moisture is getting in?

I only have experience with this first keg that is in it but so far I have had zero foam issues. It pours like a champ and the Scotch Ale that is in it now has really nice carbonation (even the first pour). The keezer is located in my basement with an ambient temp of about 65 degrees. To...

I would recommend for those of you thinking of a project like this but don't like the towers, use the search terms "collar", "coffin", "side by side", etc. ....... but then again, I guess it wouldn't be "This" project would it. :mug: I would argue most people who brew their own beer aren't...

I actually wanted the typical shiny stainless drip tray but my wife wasn't digging them so I went the low tech way. It works surprisingly well actually and cleans up like a champ.;)

Jason, Thanks for the comments! I really like it so far. I just got into kegging and built this so I am learning kegging and about keezers at the same time. I like the tower set up quite a bit because it keeps the faucets out of harms way from random people walking by (not paying...
