Looks great @max384 ... I think just adding some color to the other walls would really to help to tie it together and finish it off!

Color is nice @max384, but I'm think a full 8 labeled HB Tap List and an address! [emoji3]

Great job!

 

[max384]

Thanks everyone!

The color is there to stay. The wall color is matched to the grout color between the bricks. What we do need to do is hang up some pictures to break up the large open wall space.

And, sadly, all my taps are empty at the moment. My keezer died. However, in happier news, the next step of the project will be to build a walk-in cooler on the other side of the wall that will house the kegs. So hopefully I'll have the taplist full in a couple months.

To max384. Very nice! If I didn't know better I'd have thought it was a professional bar.

Max, puts mine to shame. Looks great!

Thanks Max! The carpet in the bar just wasn't working out, especially after I sprayed yeast and dry hop matter all over it from the new conical.

Damn zzziippyyy, digging the whiskey collection!

I recently got rid of all the carpet in my downstairs bar/hangout area and couldn't be happier. So much easier to keep clean... Particularly with wet spills.

A friend of mine was selling his bar, so I bought it.






I have a fourth chair for the setup. The middle fridge doesn't get cold, so I have to figure that out. I 'd like to just replace all three with one big unit so I can fit a sanke and some corneys. Regardless, for $100, I'm happy with it.

What a score! That's a great bar, I especially like the artwork on the sink. I had similar art on a brand new big screen TV when my kids were young.

@Die_Beerery, very nice! Being that it is outside, is theft ever a concern?

Kids of the year! Well done! Copying link and sending it my boys....[emoji16]

I spend about 3 years finishing my walkout basement, doing everything myself.

The countertop is concrete, poured upside down in melamine - great outcome but intense labor. The tap tower is 3" black iron pipe. I stumbled upon the perlick kegerator when i was on craigslist looking for a CO2 tank for a keezer, it was 3 miles away and the price was far too good to turn down.

Also, not sure what took me so long but this is my first post.

WOW there are some beautiful bars in here! I have a looooong way to go.

Here's a pic of my decidedly unfinished basement bar.

Looks nice, well done! Did the same thing with our kitchen concrete countertops. For 50 linear feet total was like $800. Working on a brew pub and will pobably do same thing.

Mounted pipe tap handles, and the bar is fully operating! Front bar is essentially complete; will eventually paint inside the cabinets. Still plenty more to do with the room, building a back bar, etc.

After seeing this one I'm not sure even to try and make one at home. You've set the "bar" to high my friend

Thank you for the kind words. But please use this as an inspiration to build your own, not as a barrier. I'm not a contractor or anything remotely close. I learned as I went. Anyone can do it with enough research and willingness to learn and make mistakes as you go.

Looks great - any chance of a building parts list for those iron towers? I assume you made these?, including lengths of the barrel pieces?

Thanks... I made the taps based on this: https://brewingwithalex.wordpress.com/2015/06/10/new-kegerator-design-reclaimed-wood-and-pipe/

He used 1_1/4" black iron pieces, but I used 1" at the base for a narrower look (but same length of the main pipes: 10"). I like the narrower look, but I might advise to go with 1_1/4". I cut 1/2" copper tubing going down a few inches into the keezer and up to the top of the main pipe (about 16" each). The foam insulation tubing that wraps copper tubing will fit perfectly into 1-1/4" pipe but was too thick for my pipes. I ended up using fiberglass wrap insulation, which has worked fine.

For each tap (mine), in order for assembly:

1" floor flange
1" x 1" nipple fitting (10" black steel)
1" 90 degree Elbow fitting (2 female ends)
1" x 1" nipple fitting
1" coupling fitting
1" x 1" nipple fitting
1" to 1_1/4" coupling
1_1/4" x 1_1/4" bushing fitting

This draft nipple

1/2" copper tubing, 16" long
Fiberglass wrap insulation

Still have some finishing to do, but here you go! Built in my basement surrounding my brew setup. I have my keezer and brewing system along the back wall, and then i have my two Haier wine fridges i use for fermentation tucked underneath. Space for storage of grains and brewing items, and then a small area for glasses. This is primarily just for beer, as we have a bar hutch in our dining room upstairs for all the liquor and glasses and such.
