Wanted to share a project inspired by reading many posts around here and being envious of those with more than two taps..
With a single tap kegerator that was 12+ years old and struggling to keep a couple cornies cold during triple digit summers, I figured this upgrade should be before my brewing equipment.
When I priced ~ 7 cu ft chest freezers the best prices I was coming up with was best buy (Insignia) for $169 on sale.
One day at Costco I noticed a chest freezer and saw it was $149 + tax for a 7.2 cu ft.
So after buying the freezer and measuring and taking off the lid, I took measurements and had some pine 2x6s cut to fit.
Having no woodworking experience this job was a little intimidating, but being an auto mechanic by trade.. I'm sometimes in uncharted territory.
I got most of this done during a week without 9-5 work, which really let me focus on the important aspects of this project.
I'm mostly posting this as a thank you to everyone's threads I took inspiration from, which are too many to list. Without all that there's no way I would've had the confidence to attempt this.
Thanks HBT for everything, I hope this is giving back in some way.
