My New Keezer

[SteveH aka shetc]

Last night, I put my new keezer into action for the first time. It was built using the plans from http://homebrewacademy.com/how-to-build-a-keezer. I used a Frigidaire 7.2 Cu. Ft. Chest Freezer that I got off of Craigslist (was used to hold breast milk for a group of families). Now serving my Longitude 78 West Mango Rye Ale and Silver Dollar Porter.

Nice work man. The collar looks sharp. That is the exact setup I'd like to have - 2 taps, but storage for 4 - 5 kegs. Let the taps floweth uninterrupted.

Cheers and enjoy the brew.

Looks good. Plus you have room for expansion.

Nice Keezer! I recently finished mine that I made from a GE 7 cubic foot freezer. I fashioned an insulated collar from some decent pine then installed a Johnson thermostat and two Perlick 650's. It now has a nice Cascade Imp IPA on tap with a Plinian and Dead Ringer Clone as well as a black ale of my own design almost readyfor kegging. The only challenge is waiting long enough before I start drinking them!

Thanks much! I didnt make finish it to the fine standards of your keezer but I like the varnished pine ok and more importantly it keeps the beer beautifully. That keezer you built looks like a nice piece of furniture, congrats!

My son, Joel, has become interested in wood working as a hobby, maybe a career even. Here's his first attempt at using a lathe to turn tap handles.

Got a A419 Thermostat on the back of the collar (thinking of moving to the side for easier viewing). Fan is wired to a vampire that I got off of some other device, always on the lowest speed.
