new but took some time with this. going to add two more taps and trays.
OrkinYards said:Here is mine, about as small as you can get with 4 kegs. The freezer is 27.25" wide and 22.5" deep.
I came out to the garage one evening and a friend and his GF had about 6 glasses of my brett saison on the table and he was drinking the beer from a full drip tray. He never told me what happened but somehow he couldn't get the tap to close so they were filling all the glasses they could reach until he could get it shut down. I admire his determination not to waste beer but that drip tray had been emptied twice that day already and was probably pretty funky, plus half if not all of the glasses they filled were dirty.You know the ins and outs of your system but never underestimate the stupidity of the drunk.
For the bottom side of the collar I used weather strip: Weather Strip
The top just uses the seal on the lid.
I actually just finished my keezer today and keged a brown ale. The two hinges are nice in that you can just open the top to check on things. The hinge on the collar allows easier change out of the kegs.

Did you just use plain old air compressor regulators. I'm thinking of it do to cost saving.
Nice HST theme, very unique.

Here's my pride and joy I finished during Christmas! Thanks to all the HBT'ers for the inspiration to build this thing and start kegging.
This is for all you veterans and military enthusiasts out there:
I built the tower out of a brass 105mm artillery shell casing. I drilled two holes in it for the taps and insulated it with foam pipe insulation.

The most difficult part was figuring out how to attach it to the top of the refrigerator since it didn't have a flanged collar for screws. I settled on creating a wooden "donut" that bolts to the refrigerator. The artillery shell then slips down over the top. The donut is tall enough and the fit is tight enough that it holds the tower securely.
It's a bit of a pain to swap out kegs, but it gives me a chance to Brasso the tower from time to time since it tends to tarnish.
Here's to fresh beer on tap in the garage!
I have to say that using that shell is a very cool addition. Your tap handles are nice but a couple of 50 cal rounds or grenades would be a nice addition to the theme.
I have a .50 cal round I use from time to time but no grenades. I'll have to keep an eye out for one. Thanks for the idea!
I just wanted to thank everyone else who posted pictures and descriptions, great inspiration and ideas. I just finished this last night and this is my first post on here, so... no longer a "lurker" I guess.
Its just a simple collar job but I may get a bit more elaborate with it in the future.

The Florida Gators one?
Finished it up this weekend and just loaded my first keg in last night.
