    Keezer Build - Tips and Lessons Learned

    1) Just used caulk. Held it well. I've added 2 more taps, and a 4 bank of secondary regulators - so moved the distributor outside, along with the CO2 tank - see update at the end of this thread. 2)I looked all over - and finally found a good power supply. It's a 5V 3A power supply for a Linksys...

    Keezer Build - Tips and Lessons Learned

    Initial setup was for 2 taps, with plans to expand in the future. Bought all of the stuff from Beverage Factory. Took over a week for it to arrive - uggh. Lessons learned: 1) Should build with at least 1 secondary regulator so you can have different pressure for at least 1 keg. 1 per keg...

    Keezer Build - Tips and Lessons Learned

    Started with stick on cable tie bases & zip ties (HD). I trimmed the sides of the tie bases, so they fit the edge of the keezer.This worked great, but I had to cut them every time I wanted to I move something around, etc. So - the solution - very simple - but such an awesome way to keep the...

    Keezer Build - Tips and Lessons Learned

    I'm using a Johnson Controls A419 - pre-wired. Wires for fan and thermometer run under the weatherstrip. Gave it a drop of caulk to stop any air leaks. Used a cable hider from HD to keep the wires all in place, and away from snags, etc.

    Keezer Build - Tips and Lessons Learned

    The vertical pvc pipe holds up the fan. You really dont need to glue it to the keezer wall. I did put a piece of dynamat on the fan mount and used that to stick it to the wall. Dynamat is tar like and used to stop vibrations and road noise in cars . Thats the black stuff in the photo, but...

    Yes, I used two inch pvc. This provides good airflow, and doesnt take up too much space.

    Keezer Build - Tips and Lessons Learned

    It's stable so far with 2 fill kegs. There is a little bounce in the wire shelf but not too bad. Probably best to cut a few extra PVC circles, and put them in the center of the wire shelf as added support - or add in 2 extra T's and have another pipe running through the center..... Then it would...

    Keezer Build - Tips and Lessons Learned

    Yes, it's a large plastic test tube - which I planned on filling with water, but decided to leave it empty. I'm thinking that I want the compressor to react quickly to temperature swings (from open lid) and water would take too long to register. Also thought that having the probe just in air...

    Keezer Build - Tips and Lessons Learned

    Made my own tap handles from pre-made chair spindles from Lowes. The cost came out to under $5 per handle. Drilled a hole in one end, and inserted a threaded insert to screw onto tap. Haven't expoy'd them in yet, so look a little crooked in the photo below. The other end of the spindle has a...

    Keezer Build - Tips and Lessons Learned

    Based on others posts I spend too much time removing the factory seal, all in one piece. In the end, I wound up not using it...uggh. I'm planning on painting the keezer black - with some chalkboard on the front, and wanted to hide all of the white. I took electrical tape and used it to cover...

    Keezer Build - Tips and Lessons Learned

    Insulation - used foam insulation and corrugated plastic to cover. HD sells sheets of the corrugated white plastic (looks like cardboard - but made from white plastic) for about $7. Wanted to cover the foam, be able to get a clean look, and be able to wipe it down. A better view of the 2...
