    Yet ANOTHER use for brewing ingredients

    In a quest to continually justify brewing costs to SWMBO, I'm always on the look out for way to utilize my brewing supplies and ingredients in creative ways. Last night, our medium-haired cat started her twice-yearly hairball extravaganza. Every spring and fall, she gets pretty backed up and...

    Portable Igloo Keg Cooler

    Had the first full day of usage yesterday for our July 4th picnic. I brought the unit out at 2:30 PM and it sat on our cement patio. The sun was on the patio all morning but it moves off around 1:00, so there was no direct sun on the keg kooler, but the cement was still warm. I placed the keg...

    Portable Igloo Keg Cooler

    Its a little sobering to actually add it all up. I didn't include tax or shipping, and I already had the keg and the regulator. I put the regulator in because I thought that to be sort of specialized, whereas I would assume you would already have a keg if you wanted to make a keg cooler, lol...

    Portable Igloo Keg Cooler

    Here's the final product. I'll need to take some better final pics. My concerns are the serving temperature of the beer and foaming. I've never used one of this QD/faucet setups before so I'm hoping there won't be an issue. As for the temp, I could always add more ice. This will debut on...

    Portable Igloo Keg Cooler

    I wasn't very happy with this next part, and I also didn't take any pictures during the process due to the nature of Great stuff spray foam. I took a garbage bag and lined my cooler, then wrapped my keg in a garbage bag. I created a false bottom of sorts out of 1/2" insulation foam board and...

    Portable Igloo Keg Cooler

    Sorry, I'm not good at taking pictures as I work! I cut a small square 1/2" plywood, and used some small screws and L brackets to mount a shelf to the bottom of the cooler, to hold the paintball CO2 tank. There are two screws holding the bottom part of the handle assembly to the cooler. I...

    Portable Igloo Keg Cooler

    Hi everyone, This is my first time posting a DIY project. I've gotten so much information from HBT and the posts here; I don't know if I would be able to homebrew successfully with it. Anyway, I'd like to share my portable keg cooler. I originally built the garbage can model but decided it...

    My Keezer Alternative: The Electric Jockey Box

    Thanks for the reply. Looks great. It looks like you have the AC coil partially out of the water. Is that just to take the picture or does it sit like that all the time? I have a few old AC units that are itching to be converted! Sent from my iPad using Home Brew
