Was thinking 2x6, solid insulation on the inside, spray foam insulation where the shanks go.
I went with the 2x6 and foam board inside and used corner braces to attach the lid.

I definitely would go with foam board if you must, I wouldn't trap shanks/lines in with spray foam.
Looking good Tbesst!
I just finished mine as well. (Well, minus the drip tray...)
Don't have a circular saw or a miter box... Garage is too damn small. I was thinking I'd just screw them together, unless brackets would be preferable.
That's fine, if you want to get fancy, just countersink them and fill with putty before painting. I screwed mine together too, I just put it on the freezer and squared it to the top, then used 2 brackets to hold it square while the glue was drying.
Did you do a build thread on your keg fridge? I really like it. I am primarily interested in where the taps are mounted. What is going on there?
I got 8 crowns from GLH's and got in on the arrowhead hops preorder with 6 rhizomes. One of the cascades from Great Lakes grew about 3" since yesterday! Arrowhead said they weren't shipping till end of march beginning of April, which is fine since I know they won't do that much this year any way. And most varieties don't prefer this cool wet weather we've been getting anyway. I've got 1 cascade and 1 centennial doing great the other 6 are sluggish especially the English. Ive been having problems out of my english yeast too. Go figure. Bloody Bustards.
We have talked about a competition at our get togethers, but we never decided on anything. The first Misfits of Brewing Science competition will be for 1 beer style, an APA. That's right an American Pale Ale. The cost will be $5 to enter and will need to be in a 12 oz brown bottle. We will need you to make arrangements to get you bottle to me by May 1st.
Who would be judging this Misfits competition?

To ensure that we get as many people involved in our group as possible I have decided to push the date back to June 2nd. I think the first Saturday in June should allow for more folks to brew a beer and have it fully aged by that time. It may even allow a couple of folks to brew with the new hops, should be here by the second week in April.
I am planning on hosting the tasting/competition at my place in Hendersonville, it seems to be a half-way point for a lot of folks. I am hoping we will get as many of us into this as possible. We have about 30-40 folks who have been in the group buys or have posted in this thread.
Is this seriously a thing? I may need to re-brew my house pale then.
Hey, I worked on my keezer this weekend, too. I picked up a black Firgidaire 7.2 cu and put a collar on it. We just finished a remodel of an upstairs bath and had some tile left over and used that on the collar and lid. I looks really cool, all black and white. I'm going to need to get some more spring loaded hinges because the lid weighs a ton.
How long are your beer lines?
Two of them are 5 feet, and one (the one I built myself) I really don't remember so it's probably anywhere between 5 and 10 feet.
I was thinking I'd drop a couple of those swirly things in the beverage out dip tubes and see if that helps.
Those epoxy mixers are amazing. It's like adding five feet to your lines. Necessary if you are going to try to push anything that's really carbonated like a wit or Belgian ale.
Do you use 1 or 2 per keg?
