Hello all, I am currently finishing half my basement ( at Spackle sanding point ugh) and am planning on building a bar very similar to the one in the "basement bar build thread" (https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=596537&page=7) I do not have a wall that I can put my Keezer behind and run tap lines through the wall so will need to have the keezer below the bar. Would like taps mounted on top of bar like normal bar.
What I am trying to figure out is how to fit a freezer like the Hair 7.1 below the bar top but still be able to open and access/change kegs. Been thinking of several options but looking for suggestions from you knowledgeable folks. With cooler being 35" tall and standard bar top 42" don't think that leaves enough space to lift lid and change kegs.
What options I am thinking currently are;
1. Have cooler lid as a lift off instead of hinged.
2. Have cooler on dollies to be able to roll back to open and change kegs.
3. Have part of bar top hinged/removable to be able to access cooler.
Am looking for any other suggestions or if any one has examples of anything like this they could share. Have not seen any done this way in threads I have been reading though.
Thanks for any thoughts... will be sure to share my progress of my build.
