I'm in the middle of building my keezer and still deciding on what I want to do for the top. Right now my thought is to make the top out of poured concrete since it looks awesome. I've looked around the forum and the only other keezer build I can find is this one: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/pallet-keezer-344104/
Has anyone had any experience with this? I have never done something like this before and this project is certainly pushing the limits of my DIY-ness. My main concern here is weight, but using a calculator online it seems like the top will be at most 60 lbs, without accounting for any siding.
Also, can anyone experienced in concrete provide some insight on whether my keezer design will have issues with a concrete top? Right now my thought is to create a mold of the plywood top with a spot removed for the drip tray and tower (the shelving will be added later), and then make a 3/4 inch thick concrete piece that will then be glued on to the actual keezer.
So far I have the base and siding of the keezer built and it's coming out great. Hopefully the whole thing will turn out as good.
