Ha! Way more lazier than you, I really should take them apart more but get complacent with the perlick forward sealing units. I guess here is a good time to mention I'm moving from kegerator to keezer so I have all the gear. Just got tired farting around and fighting with the lines all the time...

Thanks Smarch0 - I have admired your build in the past. I went through all my saved reference links but must have missed your detail on the coffin access. I've seen both top and back panel access and now trying to find details on how they did them. What I like about the back access is you should...

Hey shout out to all coffin folks. Having difficulty getting my head around the best way to make the rear panel removable while maintaining a good seal for the recirc air design within. Can anyone help me by showing what you did, what you like about it and what you don't? Thx!

UPDATE!!! Opened up the compressor compartment to see if I can find a speaker. That was a fail. Wack-o-wires running into a control panel cover which I couldn't remove because I don't have little raccoon hands and since there was no bomb countdown procedure, I wasn't about to guess if it was the...

Like the tri-clamp idea!

Great job! I'm researching/designing my first keezer and have a question regarding the beer lines. Although I love the neatness and how you've managed to keep them tucked out of the way, I've read somewhere its best to keep the majority of your lines lower in the unit as the air is cooler vs...

Yeah read that error code in the manual and had a chuckle lol. Did a quick look and only the compressor access panel appears to be removable. Planning on poking around for some kind of speaker today. I was hoping for a solution that didn't require cutting a wire as naturally I'll cut the wrong...

Looking for a bit of help. Bought this freezer from Costco months ago and has been sitting in the garage waiting for me to pull the pin and start on the keezer build. I framed up the base and bolted the wheels on today and just discovered this thing has a temperature alarm if the temp rises...

I'm designing one for myself now and found this as I'm researching proper air gap between cabinetry and face of the freezer. The issue I see with your design is possibly going to be with the seal of the lid and condensation if you don't get a 100% seal. Not sure how other trap door guys do after...

Considered painting it as cheap insurance however although sealed, it could still mold up I think? Folks have been building and using these keezers for the last decade and was curious if this was ever a problem. Also wondering how much of a benefit it is to insulate the collar with styro as I...

Hey guys, question for you Keezer folks. I have been using my kegerator in an old fridge for a few years and planning on switching and building a Keezer for multiple reasons. I understand humidity and Keezers go hand in hand and wonder if any of you have ever experienced mold issues due to this...

You did it exactly as I was thinking. Glad to know it works! Honestly I'm surprised you get such great first pours from all of my latest extensive research but if it works, it works.

Designing mine right now. I like the industrial pipe look but as a mechanical insulator, I know the risk of condensation. I have figured in order to have the cool air recirculating over the lines inside the pipe, I could line the pipe with a 1/2" elastomeric insulation but the the 90's are...

Are you circulating the air through the tower and does it condensate at all? If not, is the first pour foamy?

Very nice! I'm planning mine out right now. What did you use for the gasket material on the wood collar where it meets the lid?

Sounds yummy but I question how dark and roasty it may be what with the Cara 80, Special B and Blackprinz. Wouldn't the brown sugar be better off at flame out vs 60min to preserve the molasses taste?

None of the local HBS has chocolate Rye and I'm contemplating roasting my own out of regular rye malt. I made my own Cara wheat a few months ago and wonder if anyone has any experience with the Rye to a chocolate level? Temp? Time etc?

Resurrecting this from the past - Love the idea what you did here and wonder how difficult it is to drop your full kegs down into it? What is the height of the lid? Thinking of something very similar but hinged where the wood collar meets the freezer for ease of access. Awesome job!
