Just a quick update.. This is the [almost] finished product. This pic was before grout and poly... Grout is complete and there are 2 coats of poly. Still need to install the drip tray, actually, still need to buy the drip tray. Anyway...

I just went to the DIY section and did a search for "stir plate." There were plenty of threads there outlining a number of different ways to construct one. The first one I came to was https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/my-stirplate-cheap-easy-build-86252/ . It's really easy to follow.. Hope that...

Can anyone give me the equation to use for calculating line lengths for the beer lines?

For $20 the STC1000 is definitely the way to go! I wired mine & installed it in about 20min... No brainer

Height - 44.5" Width - 45.5" Depth - 29.25"

NoDa is the bomb! Lucky man, we don't get that here yet. Glad to see they're canning too... They're blowing up

here ya go....

Thanks man! Guess I should have clarified that... the 4 taps will be centered on the front and run through the collar and tile. Also need to decide what to do with the oak pieces on the bar top itself... might stain it a different color after cutting the hole for the drip tray. I guess it really...

Gonna add some LEDs below the bar. And of course about a billion coats of poly... Hopefully I'll have a "completed" pic or two in the next week or so.

After cruising HBT for some time and checking out the keezer "art" I finally decided to take the plunge and build one for myself. After scoring a brand new GE7.0 (for FREE!) it was game on! I started by spending an afternoon at my local watering hole with my laptop and banging out some sketchup...
