Ready to convert my little 5.2 cf GE with a collar so that I can fit 2 homebrew kegs and one commercial keg. Unfortunately, I'll probably have to stick with the picnic tabs for a while... but I at least want to build the collar so that I can get the C02 outside and make room for the third keg.
I've read so many threads my head is spinning. That said, some of the ideas and builds go back several years and, at this point, I'd have to imagine there is some consensus on "best practices" when building one.
Understanding that a lot of any build is dependent on personal preferences in terms of how it looks, etc... I'm looking more for recommendations on things like...
- attach the collar to the lid?
- attach the collar to the body?
- weather stripping/calking product/process recommendations?
... just the nuts and bolts of the absolute basics of building a collar itself. Nothing regarding aesthetics, kegging hardware, balancing the system, etc.
I suppose I feel like there is so much info out there, and so much of it really old, I am going to miss the collective lessons learned from all of these builds.
Thanks in advance!
