I’ve always liked drinking straight N/A ginger beer as well as a dark n' stormy or Moscow mule so I decided to take a shot at doing a ginger beer. Reading through this whole thread I decided to follow the advice and recipe of Gingerman pretty closely. Brewing started was this past Sunday at...

I made the updated recipe per instructions and kegged a couple months ago. It has been a smash hit among visitors. I have been planning on making another batch once I got a good deal on apple juice again. Well the grocery store just put it on sale for half off this week so now is the time...

Scored a couple more tap handles on Craigslist for cheap.

Finally finished with construction. Just need some tap handles and chalk. I'm going to be spending way too much time down here. I put the collar back on so I could get two more cornys in with that 1/2barrel taking up all the other space.

That's on the list of finishing touches.

I thought about cooling the lines but decided to try it out just running the lines open air. So far its fine, almost no foaming issues on the first pour. There is less than 2 feet outside the Kreezer so I should be good. Actually it can hold 6 without a collar and 8 with a 6" collar. I...

Shelving is in. Grout is done. I picked up a 6-way CO2 distributor used and 3 old Perlicks for 5 bucks a piece. Ill probably replace them eventually but couldn't pass up the deal. Finishing touches coming soon.

Thanks guys. I really made a bunch of progress today. Mirror is up now. Nothing is plumbed, still need to tile the floor, install the shelves, trim, etc. Need to order 3 more Perlicks and get some other Michigan beer tap handles. New Holland Dragons Milk and Shorts Soft Parade.

Tap tower complete! Back splash in!

Mosaic back splash mocked up. It's the colors of beer! Tap tower also coming together.

I can barely contain myself. Next steps are tap tower, backsplash, mirror, shelves, and tiles.

Cabinets stained and top polyurethane'd. The wood filler that I used for some of the imperfections between the top and the veneer is apparently not stainable, basically its showing up the same color as the wood used to be. The color difference is really showing up now.

Joined the two pieces this morning with wood glue and a nail gun. After a few hours I sanded down the edges flush and applied the veneer, which was easy as hell and looks beautiful. Sanded the whole thing clean with 220, blew it off with the air gun and used a tack cloth to finish. Next was...

I meant Cabernet.

81" wide to be exact. I got the components for the counter top cut out yesterday, assembly today. Natural oak stain for the cabinets and a deep red Chardonnay for the top.

Spot for fridge and ash chute access bottom left. Mosaic tile backslash up to the bottom of the upper cabinets. Mirror and shelving between the two uppers. 6 taps right in the center.

Yea. People will probably keep opening the mini fridge and cabinets looking for kegs. Right now I'm trying to decide what countertop to go with. Either a cheap pre made Formica or just a thick wood slab.

If only they were still full... I'm going to cut the bottoms out, throw a light bulb in there, and hang them up as lanterns.

So I've been in my house for 9 months now and I'm itching for a bar. The previous owner put a closet in this indentation. For me it's worthless as a closet and in the perfect place for a small bar. Here is a quick mockup in Sketchup. I started demo this morning. Pretty simple, I just...

Maybe the change is the temp outside brought it up just enough to ignite the yeast. (It's been in the basement)
