I personally like the look of this tower(aethetics wise) so to me its worth it, an air chilled one would not be sufficient to cool this type of tower. No condensation whatsoever, the towers cold to the touch but not so cold where it condenses. Just gotta make sure all the lines are wrapped correctly. All Wired up to flowmeters and RaspberryPints.

Pretty standard but i love it
I changed this fridge I got off Craigslist to a kegerator for a few years. View attachment 389835
Last year I had to redo my entire basement due to a leak 🙄 as a result I changed it to this layout with the fridge on the other side... I guess it was worth it in the long run View attachment 389836
Taking some inspiration from the the amazing builds in the thread, I finished my 4 tap keezer. Just need to work on a taplist display.
Bought it. 2" pipes all the way around, then used a 2"-1-1/2" bushing, and attached a 1-1/2"-3/4" bushing (reduced the 2" hole to a 3/4" hole). The shank was put through and the nut fit into the smaller bushing as I screwed it in.
Hhmm... might've misinterpreted your question. I built the keezer, bought the pipe tower parts from home hardware and assembled it myself. There are some towers in this thread that were machined to spec, and I thought you were asking if I had machined the parts myself.
Sorry should have been a bit clearer with my questions.
I was wondering if you built the tower or bought it, but mostly was wondering if you had to use a special adapter to mount the taps in the pipe.
Sounds like it is all off the shelf parts.
There is a guy on Etsy that is making these and machining and finishing them and selling for $$$. I like the idea of DIY'ing it.
Pretty standard 2-tap Edgestar. I like it, but the taps stick if you don't use them everyday
Love the tap handles!!!!!
Are they just raw tubes mounted into a base? Or did you release the vacuum and fill them with acrylic or something?
They still have their vacuum. I experimented with releasing it, but broke a couple in the process and figured it wasn't worth it. They're expoxied into a socket and the socket epoxied to a nut I picked up at Lowe's. There were some concerns initially, but they really don't see enough abuse to cause a problem. It's not to say an accident couldn't happen someday.
