Hey All,
Here are some pics of my new keezer. Currently on tap: Haus Pale, Stone IPA Clone, Apfelwein.
It's a GE 14.8 cu ft freezer. I think it'll hold 8 kegs. Eventually I'll bump it up to 6 taps once I have enough of a pipeline to warrant that kind of action.
I set up a dual hinge design so I could easily lift kegs in & out if the collar & lid were open but also have the versatility to work on lines and easily lift bottles out with just the lid open.
I also used a dowel to gently hollow out the foam inside the freezer (being very careful not to puncture coolant lines) to run the LOVE control wiring down to the thermostat.
I still need a drip try and a manifold to accommodate more taps but it works just fine as is! I am having an issue with the compressor running a little too often for my liking so I might insulate the walls or something...
FYI, total cost for this thing was around $1200-$1500 - Freezer, Cornies (6), Tubing, Regulator, CO2, Taps, etc - EVERYTHING. I tried not to spare any expense - premium regs, Perlicks, LOVE Controller, etc. I ran 7' of beer line to each tap and haven't had ANY issues with foaming at all.
