Figured this thing is done enough to show it off. Over the spring and summer I'm going to be entering a few homebrew competitions/festivals where I will have to serve my entries. I am also brewing for a friends wedding over the summer. I of course could use the tried and true kegs in a bucket of ice with picnic taps... but thats not nearly enough overkill for me. I also wanted something that wouldn't look like a college frat party for the wedding.
Needs:
-3 Keg Serving
-Cheap
-Portable (must be able to fit along with the kegs in my Jetta, with a passenger)
-Not ugly
-Did I mention cheap?
So heres what I came up with. I can fit 3 ball lock kegs (note: 3 pin locks will not fit) into a 32 gallon Brute trash can. Conveniently, a 24 inch pine table top fits nicely on top of the bin. The rest is leftover wood and trim leftover from other brewing/household projects. Drip tray is just a cheap HVAC floor vent. A 2.5lb co2 tank SHOULD fit in-between the kegs, but I haven't tested that yet. Its kind of tough to get good pictures because the 4 coats of lacquer are pretty reflective :rocking:
The wife has graciously offered to sew up a skirt of some kind that we can velcro around the trash can.
Like I said, I'm dubbing it a "Krute".... Let me know what you all think!
