Finally finished the ManCave! Basement was gutted and made 2 bedrooms, laundry room, huge bar, and entertainment area. Here are a bunch of pictures of the build!! Enjoy!! :mug:

I didn't even think about the bar needing to be 100% level for the epoxy... The bar top is definitely not removable either. I am now second guessing the epoxy again :confused: I'll have to check to see how level it actually is, but I know it's not perfect...

Thanks for everyone's input! I will be putting epoxy on the bar top and probably poly (or lacquer, not sure which is better at this point, or if there would even be a difference) on the rails. I have been taking tons of pictures through out the project and plan on posting a thread with all of...

bd2xu, did you pour the epoxy on the arm rail? I'm not sure if I sould put the epoxy on the arm rail or not...

Thanks Cyko, I plan on posting a bunch of pictures from the entire project once everything is finished Lowes carries the epoxy, I'm just now worried about how it will last after a little bit of research today. Anyone have expoxy on their bartop? I'm curious as to how it is with water also; I...

Bar is almost ready to be finished! Just need the arm rail to be delivered and installed. My question is what finish to use on the bar top? I always planned on doing an epoxy finish, but I've been reading that it doesn't hold up very well. Is this true? And if I do epoxy the bar top, should I...

Perfect, that's exactly what I needed to hear. Thanks!

My keezer build will include a stout tap on beer gas. I found a site that is selling a recondition nitro tank for less than $25...?? Here's the link Is this legit? Has anyone heard of this site before? They accept PayPal so it makes me think they are reliable...

I guess I forgot to mention my height situation... I have very low ceilings in my basement, and above where the kegerator is going, I am putting a TV... I cannot raise the barrels up any higher. So I came up with a new plan!! I am going to build 2 wooden pillars similar the the picture at...

LOL that is one hell of an idea... but I'll probably just keep it simple with the shocks. They will be to just as extra support with the hinges to hold it open, not to actually open it. I just thought about a problem last night though... With the barrel on it's stand (I'm looking at...

The freezer will be on a "cart" if you will. I'm attaching 2X10's together and putting casters on them for the freezer to sit on. That way the freezer can roll out from the wall. I'm also thinking about using shocks (like for liftgates on a Tahoe) to keep the lid open with the extra added...

I love the 90 degree angle idea, I didn't think about that. That's perfect What did you use to insulate your lines? And im not following why the barrel would fall apart?

So I am building a huge mancave in the basement with a bar that will fit 10-12 people. Needless to say, it will be a big bar... Behind the bar I want to put a Kegerator converted from a chest freezer on the back wall with 4 taps. The idea is to build a counter top on the lid and hide the...

Nobody has any input on how I should get this batch restarted?

I did not make a starter, as this beer isn't a high gravity beer. I just followed the instructions on the pack of yeast, putting it in room temp water, waiting a bit then giving it a slow stir. I'm almost 100% sure the reason it stopped was temperature durring fermentation. I'm in the...

Ok here's the deal... I have Brewers Best's Irish Stout extract kit in my fermenter right now. Here's the link, Irish Stout My OG was 1.050, and after 1 week my fermentation stopped at 1.032... I've read different things about stuck fermentations but have never experienced one myself...
