Keezer build -- how big should I drill my holes??

Hey Guys,

I'm in the process of building a keezer. I'm using a wooden collar and having the faucets come out the front.

My shanks are 15/16" in diameter. I'm wondering if I should drill my holes so that the shanks fit really tight, or drill larger holes and insulate the shank. I'm worried that condensation will form on the shank and damage the wood over time. But I'm also worried that if I drill my holes too big that the shank/faucet may move about and not be completely secure.

Thoughts? Thanks!

The wood itself will provide enough insulation for this purpose and you could apply some sort of sealer to the wood where the shank penetrates if you like. So I wouldn't worry about the wood rotting over time. But that's my two cents.
