Thanks to all.This is sold.

This setup makes bottling as easy as possible. Everything is in great condition. Stackable sections with sturdy arms hold up to ninety bottles upside down to drain, dry, and store. Its wide base collects drips, while the tower rotates 360 degrees for easy access to all sides of the tree. Made of...

Take a look at ebay for your tower. I recently bought a brand new two tap tower from a company in San Fran for right around 100. I have been very happy with it.

Thanks, I must be shopping at the wrong places. Everywhere I have seen the 6.5 gallon carboys at 50 plus new local or 40 plus shipping mail order.

Does anyone have any experience with these. Seems like a pretty good deal. http://cgi.ebay.com/6-5-Gallon-Glass-Carboy-For-Home-Brewing-Wine-Cider_W0QQitemZ190365474888QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item2c52aaa048 Thanks John

Thanks Kauai_Kahuna and AnOldUR. The reason I have asked this question is while I am really looking forward to this project I only want to do it once! Great advice. I plan to connect the collar to the lid so I think I am looking for a 2x6 but will definitely look for a 1x7 either in a hardwood...

Thanks to all!

Thanks! The freezer is big enough that I don't need a collar but that seems to be the best way to bring the taps out if you don't have a tower. So really just looking for advice of what looks or works best. Thanks John

I found a great freezer on Craigslist (8 CF plus) and got a great price! I am excited to begin my build. I have decided to use stain grad wood for the collar and ultimately stain it with the goal to have fun with with the complete project woodwork etc. While I know there isn't a "right" answer...

Thanks To All.

I think this is safe.... But figured better to ask first. I live in New Jersey, so it gets cold but not nearly as bad as other places. I will be building a keezer shortly, looking at several different options but probably going to bring the spigots out through the front in the collar. Do I...

So the my beer is in the second stage of Fermentation and I am thinking and getting excited about bottling. So it is time to get the bottles off my ping pong table and get to work. First I am thinking about running them through the sanitizer setting of my dishwasher ( any concerns or...

Thanks! John

Thanks for the info you are absolutely correct, what I incorrectly described as a rinser is a vinator. Should I fill that with an iodine mixture? Thanks again John

I ended up buying a few odds and ends from someone who no longer needed them including a 90 bottle drying rack/ tree and a Bottle Rinser (not sure if it is the exact brand but similar to the Sulfiter) that sits nicely on top of the rack. A few rookie questions. - From what I was told I should...
