After seeing all of the great keezer builds here, I decided to give it a try. Here is my new keezer featuring 4 taps, granite tiles and LED lighting.

Great idea. Thanks for the suggestion.Looks awesome and love the tile work! My only suggestion would be for you to try to decrease the volumetric space in the coffin with more insulation. In my coffin, I used rigid foam insulation to created a column of air flow from the intake fan, up across the shanks, and back down to the exhaust fan. I experimented with insulating the just the walls of the coffin and found that I was experiencing a 10 to 12 degree temperature differential between the chest freezer and the coffin. I have a dual stage, dual probe controller to control my fans independent of the freezer compressor. My temp. probe is positioned at the shanks and I found that with the larger volume of space needing to be cooled along with the fact that cold air sinks, my shanks were not staying cold enough. Once I created the air flow channel though the coffin, thereby significantly reducting the volume to be cooled, I can comfortably maintain a <5 degree differential without the inductor fans running non-stop. Here is how I did it originally with styrofoam insulation, but I got sick of styrofoam particles floating around the chest freezer so I re-insulated with rigid foam insulation panels. Here's a link to how I re-did it with rigid foam.....just a suggestion.
Very nice work! Love the lighting & tile. Kreg jig rules!! I just started my build & the framework is very similar. I'll have a birch top, with ash & cherry siding/trim. Did you have to pre-condition before staining? That's the toughest part for me. Love building-hate staining!! Prost!
Any pics of the top opened after you finished it? Any issue with the extra weight making the lid close by itself when opened?
I'm not seeing the typical bolts to secure the chest freezer top with the wood top. Did you use some sort of adhesive, or something I'm not seeing?
Looks great man. You must be from the Midwest...I see the Granite City growler.
What did you use to drill the hole in your freezer lid. I'm building one right now and wasn't sure what to use
Amazing work! Your build finally got me approval I build my own...
If you don't mind I have two questions - what freezer did you use? ( I would like a 4 ball lock keg system but need the final to be around 26" deep - length and height are not that critical) so I can get all 4 on the floor and off of the hump. And what are the dimensions of the tower - I'm gonna start with the tower first.
Awesome work. I just emailed this to my wife, hopefully she agrees to let me build this when I get back from deployment. Fingers crossed!
Great build. I am using it for the inspiration for my keezer.
Could you post a few pictures of the back of the keezer? I am trying to figure out home much room to leave behind the unit.
What length shafts did you use?
Awesome build where did you get your LCD lighting and can you provide the make/model?
