Thanks, it does not smell bad or anything, so I think I am safe.

First time with a Belgian Wit with bitter orange peel and coriander seed. Went into the secondary a week ago. Thoughts? iphone didn't really want to focus on what I wanted. ;) Untitled by jfinke, on Flickr Untitled by jfinke, on Flickr Untitled by jfinke, on Flickr

Yeah, I didn't want to complicate things. I figured I could always add something at a later date if I wanted.

They are LED 5050 Strip lights. You can get them from ebay or amazon or many other places. You need a power adapter, controller, and remote. They usually come with that, but you need to make sure. I also used some connectors to split the lights up and extend them through the three...

Don't have an issue. We will see what happens in the summer, but I can probably lower the temps a degree or two.

Don't want it falling over. ;)

I decided to forget about cooling the tower and just insulated the lines as much as I could. It seems to have worked out. I guess if I was pouring one ounce I may end up with warmer beer, but I am usually pouring at least six. I just used 3/4 4x8 plywood. I was able to go with just two...

Thanks everyone. Not really great at the finishing work. :) Learned I shouldn't try to do staining at night in a room with minimal light. Lots of streaks.

So, mostly finished. I have some trim work to do when it warms back up. I would also like to design some kind of sign for the front. IMG_0813 by jfinke, on Flickr IMG_0814 by jfinke, on Flickr IMG_0815 by jfinke, on Flickr IMG_0816 by jfinke, on Flickr IMG_0819 by...

Very nice!

The interior of the freezer is 24"x15 1/8". The hump is 7" wide. My overall height is going to be around 44" without the coffin, I believe. I won't know for sure until I get the whole thing assembled. The 10" collar is really 9 1/4" due to our lovely system of measuring wood.

I will try to get it tomorrow.

Pretty simple. You can do the whole carcass and coffin with 2 4x8 pieces of 3/4" plywood. The base was a couple of 2x4s. The trim you see so far is using 1x4 pine. The collar is 1x10 pine (which is really 9.25"). I originally wanted to do it a bit longer to get the CO2 canister in the...

So, I am probably half way there through construction of my keezer. I chose the GE originally, because it was supposed to handle four kegs on the floor. However, that didn't work so well after it was delivered. I think I may have been able to bang them in, but I was then worried about...

Oh well. I had to change my plans of a 6" collar to a 10" collar. So, that has added some height to my overall keezer. I may have to rethink my base to try to lower it back down.

Also, no way to put a nail across the spring like your picture.

Actually, I had to just pry them from the top. Thanks for the info, though. I am starting to think that the specs they put up on the website are different from the actual shipping model at this point, however. Or there are some manufacturing variations.

Anyone have any tips of getting the top plastic hinge covers to come off? I got the bottom parts off just fine, but I can't figure out the tops. Thanks!

Well, I just measured (the black rubber tops). I had 8.25" - 8.5" diameters.

They may very well be. They were advertised as ball lock kegs. I will have to measure when I get back home.
