    Ipe keezer build

    I wanted to turn them, but didn't have cash for a lathe. One of those things I'd love to do. I can build boxy square things like a boss, so having rounded tap handles would throw off my style :) Enjoy NC, we miss it!

    Ipe keezer build

    The pipe is stainless steel, so condensation isn't a big issue even if it existed. I was planning on the black iron pipe, but a welder friend advised against it because of the rusting that would inevitably happen. I have an access panel that the taps connect to. I took my 5 taps lines and...

    Ipe keezer build

    I do not. I’ve thought about adding a snake fan for it, but haven‘t ever had the need. The first pour has 1-2 fingers of head, same as the second or third. I have the lines wrapped in pipe insulation, so the tower doesn’t have any condensation. This is a first pour of a Vienna lager.

    Ipe keezer build

    Meant to take more pics at this point, but things slipped by. I took the freezer lid, attached a sheet to 3/4 plywood to it with 6 stainless bolts and lots of wide washers. Caulked everything I possibly could and dropped it off a couple weeks prior at the metal shop. Cut ipe to length, and...

    Ipe keezer build

    Put together the gas lines with a secondary regulator. 6 years ago, we had a bottle of sparkling shiraz and have been unable to locate it since. I plan on keeping at least one wine on tap plus a seltzer. I enjoy brewing, wine, and mixology, so cheap seltzer is awesome and easy. One side is...

    Ipe keezer build

    We found our current house, but no basements exist in our area. My amazing and fabulous wife said, "You can put it in the house, but it has to be pretty." DEAL! Took about a week to come up with plans, and got ideas from http://dcloutdoorcontracting.com/outdoor-kitchens/, and numerous threads...

    Ipe keezer build

    Been looking at and drooling over the numerous keezer build threads for several years now. Finally convinced my wife to let me build on a year ago, so I started getting together supplies to build a collar keezer. Had taps, a couple boards of ipe (ee-pay) hardwood, and a chunk of black walnut...

    So who's brewing this weekend?

    Put half a pound in the mash, then will toast a pound, put it in a nylon bag and age in the keg. The post boil sample had a subtle coconut flavor to it. I don't really care about head retention with this brew, and I expect the oils will alter it. First time brewing with coconut, and it's a mix...

    So who's brewing this weekend?

    Beautiful morning on the Oregon coast to brew a coconut porter! We moved in April from North Carolina, then spent 5 months in vacation rentals while house stuff straightened out. Kegged my first batch in almost a year this morning, the porter is the second. So nice to be back!

    Oregon SS Shanks and tail pieces

    I bought these in order to build a collar keezer in my basement, but moved across the country first. The lady friend has asked I install a tower setup in the dining room along with a built in bar. Perks of losing a basement I suppose. So I need to go with the short shank/gooseneck style...

    Portable tap box

    I do appreciate it!

    Portable tap box

    Drilled a couple SS bolts through the cooler bottom and brute lid to hold it in place, put in a bit of pvc for lines to run through, and siliconed everything to make it water tight. The shanks are 2 1/2 inch, perfect for the cooler. I'll have 10 ft of beer line, most of it coiled in the cooler...

    Portable tap box

    While it was drying, I cut the lid of my brute to accommodate a drip tray. I made it out of a plastic bin that goes in a fridge to hold ice or veggies and some spare wire mesh I had laying around. Took a break to check on my hops in the early morning, coming in nicely.
