Hi, I'm planning on building my keezer at some point soon and had a few questions about the construction of the collar. It seems like there are many different ways to get the job done.
I'm not sure yet if I'm going to attach the collar to the lid or to the body. It's going to be an 8" collar so I can fit another corny on the hump and while that's a high additional distance to lift a keg, I think it's probably better than trying to get the hinges to lift the lid and an 8" collar. Does anyone have any experience attaching a collar that big to the lid?
Also, many builds mention using an outer collar to hold the whole collar in place. Why not just build a single collar and attach it to the body using glue, epoxy, etc? Is it so you can easily remove the collar if you want to turn the freezer back to stock or is it just tough to seal the collar to the freezer body?
Thanks!
