DUDE that is sick! Best jockybox I've ever seen.
I have always wondered about how to set one of those up!
Great job!

 

[DirtyPolock]

There is no point in going to ones grave with a perfect liver. I am using mine up at the right pace (I hope).

Your keezer is beautiful! I like that cherry stain on pine. Well done!
There is really only one thing you need now; a drip tray.

I will get a drip try soon, it will just stay in the garage for now so I'm not in a hurry for the drip tray. Thanks for the complement on the keezer!

Where'd you get those faucet plugs?

The plugs came with my order from AHS. I didn't even realize that I ordered them until I opened the box. They are good for now.

 

[arturo7]

That is a sweet unit, L-guy.

So...I think im done...finally.

Since i first posted in this thread, I have made some improvements.

Added Stout faucet
Added brewery logo vinyl sticker
Added handles to collar for opening
Added printed magnetic labels above tap handles

I just built a lower frame on casters that I will put the entire keezer inside of so I can move it easier. I have 6 full kegs in there now but will but the cart frame on before the weekend so I can roll it right outside onto our deck for a party.

Normally wouldn't quote on a thread entry this far back, but I love the hop-ball ... really good idea ... :rockin:

 

[MBasile]

Woohoo! Filled the CO2 tank, got the beverage lines, and all the QD's today, so fluid is now flowing from the kegerator! Although it is only water at the moment as I'm making sure the keg is holding pressure.

Smart smart man.

Here is mine, nothing special. To fit two corny kegs with the 5lb CO2 I had to pull off the plastic shelves on the door. I put a rectangular chunk of cardboard in there for insulation underneath a thin piece of wood, which I turned into a chalkboard. I am still looking around for a solution to the drips, any suggestions? Cheaper is better. I also made some little chalkboards on the kegs themselves which are quite convenient.

As you can see, I went with the seldom used "sideways" orientation. It just made more sense than having the door open on the front. I got to keep the light that way, and it also saved me the pain of moving the temp controls around on the roof to accommodate the regulator. (Tank is wedged on a bit of a step behind the two kegs.)

I have a nice tap handle to mount, I am just looking for a piece of hardware for it.

 

[moxie]

Just thought I'd add that some of the kegerators and keezers on here are beautiful. Keep up the good work out there.

My 30th birthday present!

 

[Monty420th]

congrats, you will enjoy it

My 30th birthday present!

Is that a 7 cu ft? Looks like it from here, but i'm guessing. Looks great. Nice and simple. How many kegs can you fit?

 

[Vtbrew]

It is 7.2 cu, I think. It'll fit six kegs: The inside of the collar is laid out so the shank holes are all measured out and even, they just need to be drilled out when ready.

 

[FlyEagles78]

Here is my keezer and tiki bar. Keezer is a work in progress. Paid $50 for the freezer from CL.

 

[IrregularPulse]

Tiki bar is sweet, one question. How hard is it to clean that type of roof and keep it looking nice from like leaves and such?

 

[brentindeed]

I had the fortune of finding a retiring homebrewer who sold me all of his gear including a basic converted keezer last year. However this keezer had really worked hard for 5 years, and after 6 months in my house it died. I had all the gear from perlick taps to c02 control so I had to replace it. This time however I wanted it to look good, so I dug into this forum. So many ideas, this is what I ended up with:

Got a DFH 60 Minute Clone that will be ready soon, here's to smooth pours!

 

[Rick500]

She's a beaut! Nice job.

 

[Wingnutj]

I'm ready to drink now!
Great build Brentindeed!

 

[vonZwicky]

Nice job, Brentindeed! I like how you encased the lid in wood. I thought about scraping the original lid on mine, and building a wooden one from scratch, but your idea has merit. I'm glad I haven't moved too hastily. Cheers!

Is that cypress?

 

[brentindeed]

Thanks!

Oh an the top is just good quality pine, stained and polyed with Helmsman. I know better woods are worth it but my budget didn't allow for it. The top was the only part of the actual freezer I had to screw into, no other way to get everything to line up right, otherwise the actual freezer is undamaged.

 

[DanPoch]

Beautiful brentindeed! If I ever have the time and money to make one of these I'll be stealing this idea. That SWMBO might let me store it in the dining room LOL

 

[brentindeed]

I am a lucky man, not only is it in our den, but my SWMBO is the one who started me on homebrewing!

 

[Jersh]

That's gorgeous Brentindeed! What stain did you use on that? I'm hoping to start my keezer build within the next couple weeks (possibly even next weekend) and that stain is close to what I'm looking for.

 

[brentindeed]

Minwax Dark Walnut, 2 patient coats.... Enjoy the build, mine was much fun!

 

[brentindeed]

Thanks again

 

[IncredibleMulk]

Very proud and excited about my new 4 tap kegerator. I've not got my Irish Red, Fat Tire Clone & Imperial Pilsner on tap! Brewing a blonde this weekend to round out the last quarter!

 

[Burgs]

What kind of kegs are those inside?

 

[cyberbackpacker]

sanke sixth (1/6) barrels

Inc:
I bought a fridge from the same guy on Craigslist (north ft worth, right?). He served me a tasty Pumpkin Stout and a Gingerbread Ale, was there any left?
