I hope your weekend build was successful. Looks like your off to a good start having all your gear ahead of the build. It took me a good while to build/collect/research. Go slow, and let me know if I can answer any questions to help you in with your build. I too was inspired by all the...

I"m really diggin your build, love the rustic wood. I keep mine in the garage too. I like the chalk board you rigged up....

I'm not sure if I would go too much bigger, but a place to crash cool a carboy is great. I just wait till I got an empty keg, then throw the carboy in. I have really enjoyed having one extra long CO2 line so I can rig up a bottling gun and bottle from the keg...

The casters allow me to move the keezer so I can rack from fermenter to keg, avoid lifting full corny keg over collar. A bit pricey, but solid wheels for your keezer is a must, cuz I plan to put some miles on them between my fermenter and my keezer spot. That's a pint of Belgium training...

Here's a pic of the underside of the collar, here I am running the power cord toward the back. Pic is not so good, but you can see the how the walnut strips are attached. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=25566&stc=1&d=1304702864

"Hey Easy, how did you make the molding for the sides of the collar?" 1. First I planed and cut each 10-foot board to exact size: 1.2 in. x 8 in. Oh walnut smells good when cut! 2. Second, I cut the wood to match the collar to the size of the chest freezer. Then I mitered each...

Can you post some pics of that chest freezer edge. I would say based on you description to just build the collar flush with the outer strip. I can't say for sure without a pic. I was going to attach the collar to my keezer but then decided not to. I used walnut and it was heavy. I built...

I just fell off my chair admiring your work. You be killing' em! Please post pics of that thing in action.

I was not aware that you had to seal a corny at 30psi. I have been having some CO2 leaking issues, thought it was the lack of teflon tap on the cylider threads. I have not had an empty tank in two weeks so I though I fixed it. First rack beer to keg, then seal it at 30 psi, then drop the...

One hellofa a frame, ready for some detail. May I consider some bar lighting strips, say under the tap, under that bridge just above the drip tray. Ceramic tile would look shape, maybe have a few cut corners were you could work in a few bottle caps or stainless steal. Was not sure if that...

Walnut is expensive, I was lucky and found these pieces at a reuse center. Some guy saves wood from old buildings and barns. I'm happy that I spent the extra money. Thanks for al the feedback.

One note of caution with the aluminum covering for the inside collar: the aluminum covering and top lid should be flush with each other on the lip of the collar. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=25237&stc=1&d=1304180367 Any aluminum that can be seen when the lid...

"beautiful!! I'm working on mine this weekend... how did you attach the collar to the keezer body?" I was going to attach the collar to the chest freezer, but I after more thinking, I decided not to. The weight of the collar keeps it secure. What keeps the collar on the chest freezer are...
