Just wanted to chime in and say that I brewed vegan's 4.0 brew just over 2 weeks ago, and finally racked to secondary for dry hopping phase one. I tried a sample after about 1 week and fermentation had (I thought) stopped. Had quite an alcohol burn, which I thought was due to the fact that I...

Forgot to post here now that I'm 99% done with my keezer:

+5 gal of a Galaxy SMaSH/Tazmanian IPA Clone = 32,455 gal

It will definitely fit 4 5 gal kegs. I think I could even fit 5 if I really wanted to cram them in there. There's a diagram floating around here that shows how many can fit into this freezer, so I know it will work. I think the wide angle lens that I used skews the internal size of the keezer.

Ended up doing a lot of work over my 4th of July weekend, including a brew day so I'm a happy camper. So after having the run in the paint, I wet sanded all the sides down quite a bit to try and improve the finish. This helped give some depth and make this look a bit more professional...

Subscribing to this. I've always drooled over these kits, so its cool to see someone do a build with estimates of time. Mind giving a ballpark of price for the entire setup?

So as promised, my update: Collar is finished, 2 coats of stain and 2 coats of polyurethane. Has a nice deep sheen to it without being overly glossy. What it looks like on the white fridge without any hardware. Looks pretty good as is! After admiring my work, I decided to get to...

I was thinking the same thing, but I don't know if I could fit it in the collar itself. This will most likely be what I go with, as it's the most simple and effective method. In other news, collar is done with 2 coats of stain and 2 coats of polyurethane. I also have the lid painted...

Slight update. After using the keezer for several weeks, I decided it was time to take it all apart and begin staining/painting everything. This is probably going to be the slowest part of the entire build since the drying times for each coat are 24hrs +. First coat of a Cabot Cherry Stain, put...

Sure can! People have fit up to 5 kegs into this type freezer. I think the wide angle lens makes it look like there is less space available than actually is.

Thanks! The insulation is actually one thick layer. The two piece layer that I think you are referring to is only on the front around the shanks to make it easier to work on. The foam was split horizontally rather than vertically if that makes any sense. The final resting place is the garage...

I'm a bit of a lurker on HBT but have learned so much from this community I decided I'd give back by documenting my DIY Keezer build. I ended up getting the GE 7.0 cu. ft freezer on a black Friday sale for $150, which for me was an absolute steal. It took me quite a few months before I...

AIH has them on sale for $32.99 a piece + shipping. Not sure how long the sale is going to last for though. http://www.homebrewing.org/Perlick-Stainless-Steel-525ss-Perl-Faucet_p_2102.html

Has anyone used a random orbital polisher for this? I have one for automotive detailing and don't really want to drop more money on a grinding tool. I'm assuming that the pads and backing would be the same, and the random orbital would prevent swirls?
