That brings me to today. Got the temp control set up last night. Went with the Inkbird ITC-308 Digital Temperature Thermostat. Couldn't be happier. Price was great, set up was perfect. It has high temp/low temp alarms, can set my variants +/- 1 deg. Set to 38 deg F, last night, and this morning...

A few different angles of the insulation installed. Installed side pieces first, then back, then front. Used standard wood glue (not the best, wouldn't do it again) and then HVAC taped all seams, and anywhere air/moisture could get behind the insulation. Only frustrating part is now my far right...

After I got the collar stained (used minwax dark walnut for collar and bar tops), I put 3 coats of Minwax semi-gloss poly on. First 2 coats went on back to back; let dry and lightly sanded, and then put a 3rd coat on. I only did the outsides, top, and bottom. I left the inside bare, as I am...

Finally got all my parts in, laid out, and got the structural aspects of the keezer done. First collar attempt sucked. I have a dehumidifier in my basement, so the boards I bought from local blue and orange were straight/true, but had moisture. I cut for dry fitting, and then left in the...

Thinking about going with a holiday ale, or caribou slobber first. I'm dabbling with a 1 gallon cider and 1 gallon IPA right now, to bottle up and try out. I have 2 thermometers, picking up a gravity testing kit, with extra hydrometer. This may be a stupid question, but how do I find...

I'm initially starting out with extract until i find a way to make money grow on ttrees, but ultimately want to move into AG. I just found a guy selling his kit for 150, and it includes a 6 gal carboy, copper immersion chiller and 10 gal pot, plus all the above mentioned stuff. too good a deal...

Picking up the Brew Share Enjoy Starter kit next week. List of equipment seems pretty comprehensive. 6.5 gallon fermentor w/ lid & Bubbler airlock Bottling Bucket w/Spigot assembly Fermenter's Favorites® Bottle filler 5 Gallon Stainless Brew Kettle 21” Stainless Spoon Siphon, 5 ft...

So I got my basement bar 90% complete, and began working on the keezer. I spent months researching all the forums, and building a spreadsheet of parts to find best prices, deals, etc. I already had a 5.0 CU FT freezer, and after doing my due diligence, I figured out that w/ a collar, I can fit 2...

Yeaaa I just did the exact same thing. Didn't think about bringing them close together. I drilled the first one directly in the middle, then split the distance between the corners... Oh well, I don't plan on sticking with my 5.0 to much longer ;-) I actually built my bar to house at least a...

Today was like Christmas for me! Keezer parts are arriving! I got the back bar 90% built. Framed, sheathed out, ready for finish and the bar top. Bar top is 3x 2x10's that I'm ripping down and glueing up. Walnut stain and a lot of poly and it'll be ready to go. I'll post some more pictures...

So I got a bit more done on the bar build. I doubled down after a work trip and got the front bar about 90% completed. I finished the framing, attached the sheathing, attached the corrugate aluminum and pallet finishing, and rough cut the lower bar top. The lower bar top is just a piece of...

That's a great thought! I had originally thought about doing that; but the room behind the bar is the fully finished basement bathroom. I really want to leave that room intact for a number of reasons; most basically because I love having a functional full bath right there, but more importantly...

So I've been viewing this forum for months on end now, and have finally gotten around to renovating my basement, building my home bar, building my keezer all at the same time. Shortly I'll be getting into home brewing. For now, I figured I'd document my bar build so I'll with the below info...

holy crap thats a nice bar

Hey everyone- Finishing my home bar build now (completely new to all this) and trying to get decent dispensing equipment the first time around. I've noticed a pretty drastic price difference between what is on northern brewer, vs what is on beer factory. Is there a quality difference?? I...

I bought my cousin a subscription to a craft beer/home brewing magazine, but I got all his digital subscriptions. When we moved into our house, I decided I wanted beer on tap so I googled kegerators. Then I found DIY kegerators. Then I found keezers, and keezer builds on here. I have been...

This may quite possibly be the most amazing thing I've seen thus far!
