Alright, I'm pretty much done! Loaded up and ready to move to the apartment! In place! Close up! Shot of inside.

I definitely used more Envirotex than I was expecting. I ordered the 1 gallon kit off Amazon (64 oz jug of resin and 64 oz jug of hardener) for I think $79. It's going to be close, but I think it's going to be just barely enough.

A church key bottle opener definitely helps. Most key chain bottle openers mangle caps pretty bad. I did use a pair of pliers on a lot of caps that had bent edges.

I poured the first 2 layers of Envirotex. It's looking good! It was about how easy I thought it was. The amount of bubbles in the resin panicked me at first, but using a heat gun removed them quickly. I'm going to put one more coat across the entire surface as a few caps that were a little...

So I picked up this 3 way secondary regulator. Does anyone know if these are just shut offs, or shutoffs with check valves? Taprite's website doesn't seem helpful saying either way.

In order of importance: 1) temp control 2) aeration 3) stir plate

It was definitely more caps than I was expecting. Laying caps out on a surface 1/3 of the size and x3 was extremely helpful for my planning. And there is no miller cap! I made a point to not use any bud/bud light/miller/coors caps. I didn't want it to look like a college fraternity beer pong...

Wouldn't it make more sense to just find the leak and fix it? If you have a lid that isn't sealing then you are going to have flat beer

I'm pouring a resin called Envirotex Lite.

Alright, after a long day of glueing:

Must be a pretty good sized 'back room'

Over the last 2 weekends I put on 2 coats of black paint and cut holes for my 3 faucet draft tower and drip tray I scavenged from a different project. Next is going to be the time consuming process of glueing the 1200+ bottle caps!

I'll see if I can put a list together. The wood and some other parts were things I already had, so I'll have to estimate prices for those. I'm going to use a ranco temp controller for now (I use it for my fermentation temp control currently). I might switch to something else later

Cool the beer and it will be fine!

Are you asking about people who built just their own towers?

I remember reading somewhere that you're not supposed to use hot water to clean draft lines as it melts the hose a little bit and makes the inside bumpy and causes your beer to foam. Did I just make this up?

When I was in Dublin during the end of 2009, there was a company that had started putting draft tables (I don't know if that's what they are actually called) into restaurants/pubs. The pub I saw them in had 4 or 5 round high top tables with a double sided draft tower in the center (Guinness &...

I put a coat of grey primer on the body and lid. Next up is to paint the whole thing with a few coats of black!

Got some more work done this weekend. Finished trimming out the body and built the lid. There's a lip on the edge of the lid, as I'm going to place bottle caps and pour an epoxy over them to finish my kegerator top. I taped off an area on my floor 1/3 of the size of the top in order to...
