The top is actually the freezer lid and uses the original hinges from the freezer.

No, there's about a 1/2" gap on the front and sides. the back is open.

The collar is recessed and heavy enough that gravity holds it together. I've never had it even try to come up off the freezer even with the lid open. I used an acrylic clear coat spray on the brass corners only. The black sheet metal is just shiny black powder coating. I don't have the template...

The plywood is 1/4" thick and the grooves are 1/2" . Plenty of room! If you look close you can see that the plywood sticks up higher than the pine cleats. This tab fits into the collar's slot. There is a matching tab and groove in the bottom.

The back is wide open for airflow. The top piece wraps around the front and both sides in one piece. I had to make that one twice because I go the miters wrong :(

Thank you!

Yes I was reserving some posts to break up the build a bit.

All the brass hardware I made from old brass door kick plates from the local scrap yard. I stacked up all the pieces and machined the holes on the mill and cut them out on the bandsaw. After getting the rough shape I sanded each one on the belt sander to get some nice clean non-sharp edges. I...

I started with the front and sides. I built them from ¼ oak plywood and 18 awg sheet metal. I had the metal bent at a local heating and cooling fabricator. I cut the plywood to fit nicely between the groove in the base cart and the groove in the collar. Because I used the sheet metal for the...

I built my keezer about 4 years ago now. It has been working great since I built it. It'll hold 4 Cornelius kegs, or 3 kegs and a carboy (handy for lagering in the Summer time). I have about 40 hours into building and procuring materials. Another 10 hours into finishing the wood. It is...

I'm in!

I thought we need a "What I did on Summer vacation" thread! Here's a few videos of what I did on my Summer vacation. Home brew was only involved with the Idea forming portion of these videos :drunk: Underwater Camera test Lots of fish right off the dock. https://vimeo.com/102961037...

I just had a little incident. I just finished racking a nice porter from primary to secondary. I cleaned up my mess and installed the airlock with some leftover One Step solution. I still had wet hands but still decided to carry the carboy full of beer to the cellar, where I do my secondary...

I'm in!! There is a lot of nice stuff there!!!

Replace it. What type of drill were you using? Step drills can crack plastic easily, the way they're made puts a lot of force outward from the hole. If you use hole saws this should keep this from happening.

I'm hoping everyone is having a Great Christmas!

Around here the buckets are free at Restraunts. Look for some that won't give an off flavor like pickels...
