Look what my wife got me for my Birthday!!!

[Ciliorozo]

If I'm not mistaken, those memberships can be free for certain folks. And I fully support the idea as well. :fro:

Free huh? Let me in on the secret

that info will cost ya.

Great birthday gift! Damn it man.

What model is that freezer? I'm looking for one that I don't have to collar.

Its a Frigidaire Heavy Duty Commercial 8.8 cu ft. (model # is FFC09C3AW5). I can't find it anywhere online, but you can get the manuals from Frigidaire. We got it off CL for pretty cheap.

 

[Dave258]

Nice score! I finally got my wife to buy me a Barley Crusher for father's day. She doesn't like buying brewing stuff.

 

[humann_brewing]

wow, very nice, kinda hard to top that

 

[HoppyMaltPoet]

Wow bro. My SWMBO got me my kegging kit. 5# co2, and one corny. I thought I had it made. Man now I got to trade mine in for a newer model (the wife that is).

 

[starrbrew]

Well, I guess it beats out Aqua Velva and a tie!

Was the good looking lady part of the gift or is that your wife? Sorry..... had to ask!

Great Gift, Great Wife, lucky you all the way around.

Salute!

 

[BrewBeemer]

Wanna trade? Mine thinks I'm insane (she's mostly right)

+10 on the first half of your reply with only 25% insane the second part LOL!

My wife called me from a garage sale she was at asking about a 150 cu/ft Argon bottle for $50 it was a owner owned bottle, HELL YA buy it! Have truck will pick up, I saved $300.

If the War Department reads your reply your dead meat.

I always get "HOW MUCH!" when I drag something home, reads me
like a book with my goofy smirk when I made a good score.

 

[Thirteen]

I guess it's an okay gift.... seems like she kinda cheaped out though. Now, if she had paid Jester to make you a keezer and gave it to you full of brew ready to pour then you'd really have something....

 

[TXCrash]

Quick! Somebody buy that man a premium membership!

(Those of us in the club know what I'm talkin bout!

My thoughts exactly. Then again... wouldn't that make him a lifer?

 

[SilverSwordAlliance]

Nice! She is a keeper no doubt. Have fun with the project!

 

[Jester369]

Anyway, as you mentioned and Jester can attest...red-headed women seem to dig kegerator projects!

Gingers FTW!! Keep us posted

 

[Ciliorozo]

I know it has been some time since my last post (life gets in the way sometimes). But I wanted to give an update and express my excitement...Woohoo! Jester replied to my thread! The man whose keezer is my inspiration, his design has launched a thousand keezer designs. (Great job on that design btw)

Now to the update...I am still designing mine, haven't had much time to do that lately. But I wanted everyone to know I haven't forgotten about you Photos are too come!

In the mean time I need to find a way to get her to agree that I need a premium membership so that I can host and post my photos here. Uploading them elsewhere, then getting the link, and posting here is just too time consuming (not to mention I don't really have any space elsewhere). Hmm...I'll see what I can do...

 

[BrewBeemer]

I guess she got tired of bottling, she is really encouraging this project! Of course I will document as I go, so there will be yet another Keezer thread!

And I still have room for 1 more keg!

Can 5 kegs fit in if you place the CO2 bottle outside?
My old R12 keezer's eating 10-1 oz gas every year it's on a death roll.
I like your keezer not needing a collar.

I like your keezer not needing a collar, post more photos of the SWMBO, the keezer project also.

I think I would be able to fit 5. I will need to measure to be sure since I am not sure what the diameter of the CO2 bottle is.

Yep there will be plenty of pictures of her posted, she is really pushing me to get this done. We want it it functional before football season, and time is starting to run out

There are "other" parts of this forum that she may appear, but I need to work on getting her to approve my premium membership first

$25 premium allows submittal.

Yes I do believe I would be able to get 5 Kegs in there if I put the CO2 on the outside.

Thanks for the imformation my keezers on it's last leg leaking more gas as time goes on. Holding 5 corny's without stepping up in the 14 plus cu/ft range is in the budget as well the war departments plans I ran out of space. She just got her bigger gun safe so I must work around what space is left. My pinball machine stays.

The present is on the left, that other crap is icing on the cake. You need to buy her something nice.

+10 as they never forget besides you'll need other expensive brewing items in the future.

If it's the same as my Frigidaire 9.0 cuft from Lowes (exterior dimensions are the same), it will fit 5 on the floor if you bend the compressor hump back some. The fifth keg won't fit without forcing it.

This widens my search options thanks.

After taking careful measurements I think I can fit 5. I even put it into skecthup to confirm. Here is the image, when I use the tape measure tool everything matches perfectly to my hand calculations. (The CO2 bottle after measuring is about the same diameter as a keg, so I can put 4 plus the CO2 in it)

I know she is always the present I know I am lucky Why else would I get all this cool stuff! And I already have ideas for her birthday. She will be taken care of

Oh I know, she has a memory like a still trap. And I already have thoughts for the future. Once this baby is up and running I "may" need to upgrade my actual brewing setup So I will definitely take care of her
