I think the wife and I are finally going to build ourselves a keezer. I haven't built one before and I don't know anyone who has one, so I have questions. One of the first things I need to do is build a list of parts needed and cost, just so the wife knows how much we're spending. I was going to do a 6 tap keezer but after I started seeing some of the prices, I dropped it to a 4 tap to save a bit of money. (I'm not against 6 taps. Actually, I still may switch back to 6 taps because it'll allow us room to expand our capacity). What I know that I want are the following...
- 4 or 6 tap keezer
- Tower style
- Wood frame all around
- Old school caster wheels on bottom, like this...
- Wood frame around the lid of the freezer with tile underneath the taps
I found a 4 tap keezer build blog which is what I'm wanting to follow (link). This is pretty much the exact look I want, minus the "skyline board" he has on top.
I have a list put together of items that I think I need. This list is incomplete as it DOESN'T include any wood, insulation, wheels, or anything else to build the outside of the keezer. This list, right now, is simply the stuff to get all of the gas and beer line connections made, I think. My question is am I missing anything? I only have 2 faucets listed because I already have 2 that I can use. Same with the kegs, I only have 2 listed because I already have 2.
1 Chest Freezer Insignia 10.2 cu/ft $250.00
1 Computer Fan 3" 120V AC Cooling Fan $19.00
2 Faucets Intertap Stainless with Flow Control $94.00
4 Faucet Shank 4.5" Faucet Shank $80.00
12 Gas Line 5/16" ID Blue Gas Line $19.00
8 Snap Clamps Reusable Snap Clamps for Gas Line $8.00
4 Beer Line 5ft 3/16" ID Vinyl Beer Hose $32.00
1 10lb CO2 10lb CO2 Tank $100.00
2 Corny Kegs Used Cornelius Kegs $120.00
1 CO2 Regulator CO2 Regulator $65.00
1 Secondary CO2 Reg 4 Way Secondary Regulator $138.00
1 Temp Controller Inkbird ITC-308 $35.00
One other question I have, for now, is the CO2 tank. Is a 10lb tank big enough for a 4 tap keezer or should I go bigger? A 20lb tank is only $20 more on www.morebeer.com....
Thanks for the advice.
