That growler pressurizer attachment is pure genius! Seriously man, great job! 
Are you planning to mount the CO2 tank anywhere on the keezer? I had considered going with an external tank on mine, but I couldn't come up with a way to mount it that doesn't look like a fire extinguisher hanging off the side!

That is a to be designed item. It's larger than I can hide behind and still be close to the wall. Now using an actual fire extinguisher cabinet might be cool.

Next someone will just mount their taps in a fire extinguisher cabinet....
In case of emergency, HAVE A HOMEBREW!!!

What height off the top did you put your taps?

I centered mine in my 2X8 collar. For me this out the basic black tap handles just below the top of the keezer

So taps center of the 2x8 but to that hole how far from the bar top?
Juic,
Here are three measurements for you...
From wooden top (yet to add tile) to tap centerline 13 3/16"
From Drip Tray to tap centerline 12 5/16"
From Drip Tray to faucet bottom 10 3/4". This is where I feel a pitcher needs to be able to fit, which it does comfortably.

The only thing that I draft into that doesn't fit under the taps is a growler, but you would never draft into one of those sitting flat on the drip tray. I use the growler filler hose attachment for this.
Also, the front tap board is partial and will be covered by a 6" tall fascia board. This leaves room for accent lighting. Which Costco is selling! What are the odds. Maybe installing the lighting will be my next update.
Cheers!

Bumping an old thread. How is this bar coming along? Really awesome ideas in this build!

Have you found that as the water sits on pressure and fully carbonates that the carbonated water coming out still rinses/sprays well?
Yes, I'm very happy with both the rinser and carbonated water on tap. I don't run either it at any different pressure (~11psi @ 37F = ~2.5Vols) than my kegs.They both run off the same corny and I use a simple tee to split them. The rinser has plenty of spray and does exactly what is expected. If you would like to see a short video of the setup, let me know.

Yeah, a video would be great if it's not too much trouble. If I was okay with 1 less beer on tap, I'd be all over this, but I may still find a way to incorporate a rinser outside of my keezer... or do the more obvious thing and build a bigger keezer!
Ask and you will receive! I went ahead and made my first ever YouTube video. This is an overview and display of how my rinser and soda water tap are working for me.
No audio at this time, but you'll easily get the picture. I'm happy to answer questions, maybe they will be incorporated into the audio version.

Read several places about those bottle washers require being turned off after use. What have your experiences been? What did you end up using as your drain bucket?
I am looking to build in a glass rinser in my bar and was planning on hooking it up to a keg. I couldn't find anything on the internet on how to do this, but then stumbled on your video. Would you be willing to go into more depth on how to connect the glass rinser to a corny keg?
Thank you!
