I thought about doing something like this with 30mm rounds from A10s on my base. We have a shop that will powder coat and laser engrave then as well so have it engraved with a pic my friend drew up for a label for me

Just finished mine this week. Used barn wood from my grandparents barn. I have two fans inside the tower, one blowing up and one blowing down, works perfectly.

That's awesome! Nicely done.

That looks great! Good job!

yesterday i added a yeast vial tap handle. QUOTE]

Great idea! But how the heck did you get the label off the vial? I've tried about everything that wouldn't melt the plastic vial and can't seem to get the darned things to budge.

Did u try hot water and oxyclean soak

 

[masonsjax]

I have yeast vial tap handles. I soaked them in oxiclean overnight and found the labels floating on the surface in the morning. I removed the rest of the glue with a cottonball and goo-be-gone.

 

[Puddlethumper]

Thanks guys. Will try that.

 

[snccoulter]

In the finishing steps. My build

 

[wbarber69]

Threw in a temp controller and ripped out the original thermostat assembly about an hour ago. Testing it out right now.

Soaked them all afternoon in (originally hot) strong PBW solution. (Sorry, fresh out of OxyClean). It loosened the outer portions of the labels. Will see what they look like after an overnight soak.

Sunza... You gotta be kiddin' me

that is awesome!!!

 

[g-love]

Yeah, that's pretty sick!

^^Sweet^^

Wow, that is a work of art! Now if you get some of Neil Peart's drumsticks and put on the handle, that would launch this in to the epic stratosphere!

Probably the best drummer.
I love the kegerator.

 

[Jklisiewicz]

I didn't like the look of the freezer top so I threw that curtain on there.
And I need to make a drip tray. The stainless ones are super nice, but this is a budget build.

Thanks!

The easiest way I have found is peel off as much of the paper-ish label as you can. Spray the vial with WD-40, let sit for a moment or two, then wipe off with an old rag. The WD-40 dissolves the glue and it comes right off.

Now back to our regularly scheduled program.

 

[Doed]

lmpec - is that paint or a vinyl sticker on the front? Either way it is very cool. Well done.

After fussing with it a while that's what I found to work also. Thanks.

 

[lmpec]

Doed, it's a vinyl sticker, unfortunately. Doesn't look as cool as I imagined, but anyway...

If only I could get a pair of those... But they are just to thin.

 

[snccoulter]

IT is finished just waiting to move home. I have no garage so it has come to life at my dad's house.

 

[snowtires]

Do you have a dining room?

 

[keezer_geezer]

So clean. Where did you get your vinyl done?
Was it expensive?
Also, where did you get your CO2 tank mounts? I couldnt find anything decent. Currently using 5" duct mounts. My buddys welding up so better ones for me currently

Actually, I live in Brazil, so everything was made from scratch, because we don't have specialized shops around here. I was able to bought only the keg, co2 tank, shank and faucet. I told it was a very long year... The refrigerator belonged to my grandmother, who died in 2011. She loved a good beer (german and polish heritage), so it's kind of homenage. I did all the repair work and painting in my free time, which is not so much. A buddy of mine, who works in advertising, helped with the design of the vinyl sticker, which was printed in a local company. It was not expensive at all (about R$ 200,00, or US$ 90,00). The design of the co2 tank mount was made ​​by myself, and then my uncle, who owns a welding shop, executed him. Took a long time to put it all together ...

That is a thing of beauty -- simple yet full of character. What did you use for the horizontal surface?
I admit to a modicum of jealousy that you have free access to a source of barnwood.
My dad's giving up an old chest freezer he doesn't have room for anymore; I'm attempting to rustle up some old barnwood for the collar (or more, depending on what I can get my grubby mitts on) while I stockpile the rest of the gear the project requires.

After one year of hard work, here it is:

Holy damn.
Managed to catch the VT tour around Buffalo years ago. I'm guessing Dog Years is your site?

Me thinks a tutorial is in order!

 

[Rivenin]

went from this

to this

only had two on tap at any given time anyways. But! good to note, my old keezer is now in the shed acting as a fermentation chamber... so now i can ferment 10 gallons at a time (back to back brewday or 10 gallon batches) so all is right with the world.

damn links.

I stopped by keystone last night and ended up buying a tap setup for my converted magic chef. And here it is!

 

[de3isit]

Very Nice! What is you CO2 mount?

It looks very similar to the mounts you get for technical diving. Go to your local dive shop and I'm sure they can sort you out with something in stainless steel.

 

[masonsjax]

Didn't he say a friend fabricated it for him?

 

[abeasst]

They were custom made, but they are basically nitrous bottle mounts. Similar to this: http://www.race-mart.com/product.asp?itemid=447759&gclid=CO-5qITGpr4CFWkaOgodkHYAYQ

 

[TimmyWit]

I posted mine a while back but since then I added a rack for the drip tray. It's not the sexiest thing but it's easy and functional:
