Having my basement finished this month. Need help kegerizing the bar area. Here's the first render from the builder:
They are not doing three towers... They are going to leave 3 holes, 4" on center for me to run shanks and Perlicks through. The niche will also be lined with stainless and have a drip tray running to the sink. There is a storage area behind that wall. My original plan was to build a new collar for the keezer and build a platform to raise it up to the shanks. New collar because I'd probably want the lines coming out the side so that I can still open the lid. Also, a portion of the colar would have to be built out to extend between studs to the wall.Here's the current keezer:
Here's the plan from the builder. Now, the niche for the taps is going to be the only indentation on the wall... The wall will be straight across with only the indentation for the taps. I figured I needed more room in the closet area for the sideways keezer.
So.... I am not sure if I want to raise the keezer up to the taps. Do you guys think I could get away with insulating lines that run up there? Instead of essentially bolting the keezer to the wall? I force carb and shake kegs while they're in the keezer, and that will present issues when the keezer wants to rock away from the wall. Any examples out there of a good solution?
