Under the sink. Lots of Reflectix.

I honestly don't know how to do the math on this, but if you have 3 gallons at, say 1.015, and you add 0.375 gal of grape juice or must at 1.075 you'll then have 1.022. In other words six cups of 1.075 adds 8 points to three gallons. I'm using BeerSmith's dilution tool to figure this out.

The back of the AC unit is in the utility room. I tried to put it high enough that I can run a hose over to my sump for condensation if need be. I've looked at the unit and I'm not sure where it drips out though. If it just has to go into a bucket, that will be fine too. I'm going to test...

Water supplies and sink drain. Rope light is plugged into the switched GFI protected outlet inside the bar.

Tomorrow I'm setting in the sink, lining more of it and adding the wall opposite the bathroom wall, which is in the passageway to the utility room. I've been using that gap to get inside to work on it, so that's going to be about the last thing. I'm pooped and I just drank a sixer of Flying...

In this shot, I've got the pebbleboard applied to the wall between the bar and bathroom, which also has the sink drain and water supplies, which are barely visible on the extreme right. I've applied Reflectix to the inside of the front wall of the bar. And this is where I left off...

In this shot, I've got the insulation installed in the three walls and in the fixed portion of the lid. The sink is still just dryfit. A Corny is shown for scale. I'm hoping to get 8 to 10 in here total. Here's the underside of the sink. Still just dryfit: I'm going to line the...

Here's the air conditioner base, looking from my utility room at the back of the bar area. The crossbar in the front ensures that it drains back. To the right is a bulkhead above which will be a removable panel to aid in access to everything under the fixed side of the bar, including kegs...

I'm finishing out the first floor of my split level house and as a result I'm able to build in a custom bar. I don't have a huge amount of space and I wanted to maximize the number of Cornies I could get in there so I'm building a custom insulated refrigerated space under the bar. I've had a...

The wall between the bar and bathroom with Reflectix in place. Note the outlet inside the kegerator. This has a switched outlet for the rope lights and an always-on outlet in case I need a fan in there.

FRP pebble board has been applied to the wall between the bathroom and kegerator. Plumbing is finished there with a drain for the sink and water supplies. Reflectix is in place for the front wall of the bar. Most parts of the bar have, going from outside in, 1/2" plywood, two sheets of 1...

FRP pebbleboard on the inside front of the bar.

From the doorway to the utility room, looking through the bar. Sink is dryfit and corney showing clearance.

Under the sink, after the surface has been affixed but before the sink has been clamped in.

Dryfit of the fixed portion of the lid with cork surface material and sink.

Just screwed down the lamiated plywood substrate for the fixed side with the sink.

From the utility room, looking at the back of the bar. The platform is for the air conditioner. The lower bulkhead to the right will have a removable panel for access to the area under the fixed section of countertop.

Just getting started.

The air conditioner is dryfit in its aperture. Above it is the back panel of the draft box. The 2x4s protrude from the wall to form a cleat that the removable box will rest on.

Hot and cold water supply and the very first panels of insulation.
