Haier 7.1cu ft Keezer project completed!

So yeah. This started a few weeks ago after much deliberation on what size to go with. It was quite easy but I made it more difficult that I should have. It was fun and it's functional. Oh yeah and add $100-200 to whatever you think you will end up spending on this project. Still worth it.

That being said, I went with a 2x6 collar and can't fit the 4th/5th keg on the hump due to height issues. With a 2x8 collar it can be done which is quite depressing for me. That being said, I will not be deconstructing it to add more height. I will use this as a learning experience and will get a 3ga keg to start doing some 3ga BIAB batches as I start experimenting with all grain.

Buying, painting and prepping. Plus making collar.

Added a boarder around the collar. Red Oak with a Nut Brown stain.

The inside plus the 4th Keg issue on the hump. Unless there is a flat ball lock attachment, I will have to buy a 3ga corney keg.

EDIT: Crap just saw how much a 3GA keg costs. Might be cheaper to just redo the collar.

Nice to hear about your build. I'm planning one for the near future. If you look at more beer they have a new 2.5 ss keg for 70. Or pick up a used 3 gal when on sale. I brew 2.5 or 3 gal. Batches at this time.

Do you prefer the 2.5 over the 3 gallon because you can just half the ingredients of a 5 gallon batch?

Looks awesome. Do you have the measurements of the boards you used? Have one and stupidly left my sheet at home and was going to pick up boards and have them cut at Lowe's.
