Those are good tips, but yeah I don't think something like that will work for my setup. My goal is to get everything built in under the counter. I had another thread about that here if you are curious: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=629532 Since I tend to prefer to do more...

I sent a message. I haven't actually ordered any yet... I'm leaning toward the slimline but those are out of stock at the moment anyway. It's a shame the standard kegs aren't just half an inch shorter on the five gallon ... it would be pretty much perfect on the compressor hump of the fridge...

That's a bit troubling. The site has 5 gallon listed as under 25" for the slimline... so yeah those numbers must be off. I'm trying to get pretty exact with the space available. What I really need to know is the 2.5.

A quick question for anyone that has these kegs... are the dimensions listed on MoreBeer exact? I ask because the differences between the slimiline and standard don't really add up. To make up for the lower diameter the 1.5 gallon slimline keg adds about an inch of height. The 2.5 gallon only...

Hmmm maybe I was misunderstanding then. I had found a couple other examples like this which made the cooling sound a bit different: http://www.popularmechanics.com/home/how-to-plans/how-to/a13106/diy-draft-step-by-step-kegerator-plans/ In either case whether those are the cooling lines or...

Thanks for the response! I had briefly considered that as well, but given my limited DIY expertise had some concerns that I could do it well. For one, wouldn't moisture be a big problem with wood? Secondly, I'm guessing if I were to have a much bigger cabinet capable of 4 to 6 cornys I'd...

Yeah, similar... though I was envisioning a shared tap tower for all of them. I'd like that more from a space perspective, though perhaps it would be more difficult to insulate/cool. I'm also considering building a facade around the front to match the cabinets, but haven't given it too much...

Thanks for the suggestion! A little pricey, but definitely much better than the commercial options. Unfortunately I'm guessing that assumes it is a stand-alone unit and wouldn't lend itself well to being built under the counter. I think I'm second-guessing one of my initial requirements with...

I've been in the long and slow process of finishing my basement and from the start I planned on a half-kitchen / bar area. I'm hoping for a build that holds at least four corny kegs, ideally six. While I theoretically could make room for a large chest freezer, I'd really prefer an integrated...

Thanks, the bottle filler looks way easier than the clamp I was fiddling with! I just ordered one.

I just got finished bottling my first batch ever. It was three gallons of pineapple melomel that cleared beautifully (though I am rather indifferent to the taste). For my own future reference I would appreciate a bit of advice on a few things: I used a clamp on the tubing to stop flow in...

I'm something of a newbie and just started my first wine kit. At the same time I've started a small batch as a control using Welch's frozen concentrate to see just how much the cost of a kit is justified. Given that there were quite a few varieties of 100% frozen juice concentrates available...
