My first home built keezer!

[Pale Ales and Such]

I built my first keezer ever and looking forward to using it soon! The total cost of materials was about $251. The chest freezer was $160 at Lowe’s (on sale), the wood was $25, the faucet was $24, and the sealant I used was about $7 from Lowe’s. Yes, I’m only doing one keg right now, but later, I will upgrade and add an additional keg as well as an additional faucet. This is so awesome

Good job! A Keezer build is on my list when I get the time. I enjoy looking at everyone’s work here.

Very, very nice. I really like the 2 tone look (wood vs white freezer).

It looks really good. Enjoy your beer. My one thought is that you may end up requiring some sort of fan to recirculate the air. I had a keezer set up for a while and adding a fan solved a moisture problem that once led to mold for me. You may have no problem but I think a fan of some sort is pretty common.
Good work!

fwiw, I've build three keezers and they all demanded the use of a "stirring" fan running 24/7 to prevent temperature stratification.
I've always used a 120mm fan stood on edge sitting on the hump blowing the length of the keezer, works a treat. You can see it at the "back" of this pic

There are also a pair of Eva Dry 500 desiccators with 40mm fans attached sitting on the floor scarfing up moisture...

Cheers!

curious what the top looks like. Running a tower system? I don’t see a collar so am assuming so. Looks nice!

This looks great.

What are the interior dimensions? How many kegs can you fit inside with the CO2 canister in there?

 

[Pale Ales and Such]

Hi everyone. Sincerest apologies for not updating on my keezer porn.

I can fit 2 five gallon kegs but I’m using only 1x 5 gallon for general beers like ipa or pale ales. I also use a 3 gallon that I use for more Experimental type beers like custom recipes I am trying out.

what has been on tap?
5 gallon keg:
- An IPA (my own cloned version of pfriem IPA)
- currently a hazy pale ale (my own cloned version of Pinthouse Electric Jellyfish)

3 gallon keg:
- a coffee oatmeal stout (my own recipe)
- coming soon: a custom Christmas ale kf
My own recipe

pictures of how it

That is a fancy Keezer right there. One day I may upgrade my keezer to something like this
