I recently built a kitchen/brewery into one of my basement rooms. I would like to have a 6 foot bar come out from the wall under which I will have my my chest freezer with my kegs in it. I will have a tower on the wall end of the bar top.
Now here is my problem, I would like to have 5-6 beers on tap. My freezer will only hold 4 without a collar. The top of the freezer, not including the lid is 33". I measured the top of the corney on the hump being 6" above that. Figuring room for disconnects I would need a 7-8" collar. Now I have acquired a 10'x30"x3" pine slab, that I would like to use as the bar top. all this adds up to one heck of a tall bar top. I was thinking of using the bar top as a lid for the chest freezer to save on height. From reading a normal Bar height is 40-42". Anyone have any suggestions? Ideas? Sat at bars 45" tall? Leaned against a tall bar? I don't want to build this and have people go "This seems tall to me".
I know the simple solution is to just have 4 beers on tap. The freezer is 9cft and holds 4 corney's and my 20lb tank no problem. Would love to move the tank out and make use of the extra space with more beer though. Feels empty with just 4 in there. A lot of free space.
