Hey all! New member here. Been brewing since last August and quickly decided to ditch bottling and start kegging. I searched all around to find creative keezer designs that maximize the useful space of a freezer. This is what i came up with. Keezer build https://imgur.com/gallery/khApoOD
Holds 6 ball locks, 20# tank, and either a fermenter or a 7th ball lock on the hump.
I've made some upgrades since these pics were taken (and got more tap handles). Got a 20lb tank, moved the fan, and am currently in the process of making the shelf more of a basket that can be removed using headboard/bed rail hardware. Might add a drip tray too. Keeps temps pretty stable. Doesnt run long when It does turn on.
 
Now that's an interesting idea of how to do the collar. Great job dude!!
 
I have been thinking of doing something very similar to this and have almost everything I need. How did you secure the back part to the freezer?
 
A: love it, considering this idea myself.

2: When you cut the angle for the split-top, did the thickness of your cut get figured into your calculations on the length of that board?

I totally get why you are asking that. I built a very similar style enclosure for a desktop CNC. All I did was build a plywood box and then cut the diagonal to make the lid. It worked just fine w/o any additional futzing around. For this application, I think a gap would be better then you could fill with a bit of foam to seal it when closed. HTH.

Yes, that does help, and now that I've figured out how to use sketchup, I've come up with a few ideas that, if the creek don't rise, will visible shortly (don't know what the restrictions on attaching jpgs are).
