So luckily SWMBO is a big beer and wine drinker so she is very supportive in me getting more and more into the hobby. We decided we wanted to build a keezer so we can get more on tap and do more brewing. We went to Lowes and got a good sized 14.9 cf freezer. We can fit 8 kegs very comfortably. Plan is to have 6 taps (5 perlicks and one stout down the line) and have two spots open for aging/carbing. Here are some project pics so far.
Wanted it on a platform with wheels so we could easily move it around. Here is what we made up. Thinking back after building I should have got a couple of the casters with stoppers.
Here is a picture of the collar after getting everything screwed together.
A quick test fit of everything. We decided to go double hinged. With the base and the 8 inch collar there was no way to physically reach in should it need cleaning or if something was dropped inside. I like the idea of being able to open just the lid or the collar and lid.
Put some weather stripping down along the top to try and get a good seal. This is a part I might try and find a fix for. It does a good job of getting a seal but there are spots where its not covering.
Then we added some foam to help insulate around the collar.
We added some reflective tape around the edge of the collar and over the top and bottom of the foam. Am hoping that gives a nice surface for the weather stripping to seal to. Also it helps protect the foam a bit.
Thats the build so far. Any helpful ideas or comments would be appreciated as I am far from a good DIY'er and might not be doing things the best way.

great build. Do you have one regulator for all different lines? Same psi? What size co2 tank(s) are you using? Also how did you wire up the fans? I'm thinking of doing something similar but I dont know exactly how I should do it yet. Great build
