And here is another Keezer conversion. I wanted to post this because I only found one other conversion of this specific freezer. I picked this up off of craigs list for a cool $100. It will easily hold 8 cornies on the floor with room for two more on the hump. I have not tried to fit my 20lb tank in there on the floor with the cornies as its all torn apart and I just picked up the tank.
I am starting with four taps because of budget restrictions but plan on adding more down the road to six taps with atleast one nitro. There will be plenty of room for cold crashing and even possibly doubling as a fermentation chamber.
So far here is what I have done:
1. Pulled the lid and removed the inner insulation to get at the back side of the handle, saving the weather stripping for later.
2. Removed the crappy looking handle and bondo'd the holes.
3. Sanded and painted the freezer with black Krylon Appliance Epoxy.
4. Cut and drilled 1x4 oak for the collar. I went with 1x4 for two reasons. First I dont need the room I plan on keeping bottled beer on the hump and in the basket. Secondly I wanted to attach the collar to the lid so this will keep the weight down on the hinges.
5. Stained with Zar Moorish Teak and Polyurethaned all six sidesto keep out moisture.
6. Assembled the collar and used liquid nail to attatch lid to collar.
And thats where I'm as of this evening, more to follow.
Here are some pics because that is what is important when reading a thread like this.
