I used jesters idea and came up with this:

Did you have to paint the PVC to get the silver/gray color? I am making the same thing right now but with red oak that will be stained..

Nice tower attitude! I really like the diamond plate.

Bumping from way back when to say thanks! I just bought all the parts to build this tower! Can't wait!

thats way too advanced for a newer brewer! you MUST bottle at least 20 batches before you get a kegerator, youve gotta pay the dues!

I beg to differ. I've bottled 5 batches of my own and 2 or 3 of a friends. I'm done dude. He (and I) just figured out quickly that when you bottle it's a big pain in the kiester and that when you bottle you share exponentially more than you drink. So kegging is the way to go!

Bumping an old thread- Can anyone tell me what typ of shanks to use on a tower like this? Not sure if Icwill have a box or try to just mount 2 taps directly on the 3" PVC. Can anyone help me figure out parts?

Flat surfaces (like the box) can use standard straight shanks, like this:

To mount directly on round surfaces, use tower shanks:

I used these on 3" pvc and they fit perfectly.
