How did you attach the bottom collar to the fridge? Is it just the hinges on the back for the original lid? Can you show pictures of anything else you used to attach it?
Beautiful Keezer by the way!!
Are you willing to share your Rootbeer recipe? Your project is fantastic! Nice job.
Finished product and first pour. I currently just have 3 taps installed, but drilled holes for five. Plan is to install a nitro line next, and might put in a soda line for homemade root beer. Let me know what folks think. Thanks
...Don't expect many spills, but want to be prepared. I wanted the drip tray low enough that I could fill growlers without any issue (have problems trying to do that on the small kegerator I have upstairs).
Beautiful!! How did you fasten the top to the upper frame?
Looks great. The lift kit was a good idea. What type of hinges bear that weight? Any measure of cooling efficiency (loss of cold)? You could commercialize these and sell them around the country. I'm inspired!
Inspiring, I may attempt a similar idea. My only concern is the tap handles being above the level of the table. Someone knocking one open. Especially a slight, unnoticed one.
Thanks for writeup. Nice work!

Did you just let the epoxy pour run over the sides?
My wife wants me to convert our shed into a bar (twist my arm) and I stumbled upon your setups. She loves it which means that I have a green light for this thing.
Few questions:
How long did this build take?
How wide is the 2x6 frame support?
If you could go back and do something differently, would you change anything? If so, what?
What made you choose the table top dimensions of 45x66?
Thanks. I am looking forward to getting this started.
Last thing I would have done different would have been to make friends with someone with actual wood shop tools (and skills); an actual clamp setup would have worked much better than the ratchet straps I used to glue together the slabs.
I'm not going to lie, this is awesome. I was asking myself how I could accomplish this without clamps (assuming you had them) and this gem pops up! I Love it. It seems to have worked out pretty well, how did you go about doing this?
Cheers!
I absolutely love that wood! Do you mind sharing the name of the guy you got it from?
looks awesome!
just curious - what kind of weather stripping did you use between the collar and the freezer? is that a sponge neoprene? looks like it must be dense as it doesn't compress much.
Trying to think of something original to say here but I'm just going to raise my glass to you and say that this is AMAZING!!! I realize there are about three full pages of pretty much that same comment but what the hell does one more hurt?
Anyways, I love this and can't spare that much space but it's given me some ideas to change up the kezzer I bought on craigslist so I appreciate you sharing.
Yes, it's a dense foam weatherstripping, and it ended up being a lot denser than I expected. I was expecting it to compress, and was worried about getting the hinges attached. I added 125 lbs of weight to the bartop to try and compress it before attaching the hinges, but it didn't make a difference.
Now that you've lived with it for awhile, do you reccomendation this type or something less dense? I've had other keezer lids really squish and deform the weather stripping too much, so was looking for a denser alternative.
