Heres hoping I used enough liquid nails. Ill find out when its fully cured I assume haha.

I swear all my pics are of me waiting for things to dry lately. Thankfully this is the LAST bit of waiting I have to do. Assembly starts tomorrow. sadly the inkbird I was expecting yesterday said the box was damaged in transit so it went back automatically :\ Itll show up sometime this week supposedly.

Where its final resting place will be. I still need to do all the internal plumbing. I caulked all the internal joints. It seems I will need to do weather stripping (any reccomendations on this?) though as the lid doesnt quiiite seal along either side.

It will dry clear, eventually.

Well, gas is done (no leaks!..that I can tell). I somehow miscounted how many clamps I need so i cant do the beverage connections just yet.

Thankfully im within 5minutes of two lowes, a homedepot and a LHBS.
 
Well, one of my gas in disconnects was bad... also I realized I got the WRONG size barb'd fittings on them and my gas line is 5/16" lol... whoops. Another quick trip to my LHBS to buy proper MFL disconnects with the proper barbs.
So got all the bev lines fitted... all those went just fine yay. Im now dubbing this thing 100% done... for now.

My inkbird shows up saturday, having to borrow my friends sousvide inkbirk that he built temporarily. I still need to do a proper drip tray and im not sure im happy with how much air this fan moves, might replace it with a more powerful desk fan. Plus I need to pick up some EVadrys.
 
Looks great! I see you have the fan with some tube in there as well nice. Almost ready to get some beer in there?

Is that the final state of your drip tray? I bought one but I am still undecided as to how to attach it. I have read a lot of interesting threads here with ideas on how it can be done, just not sure yet.

One of the kegs does have beer in it. Sadly its slated for a party in a week so I cant really drink it haha. Na I need to do a proper magnet mount one, but after having dumped another chunk of cash on new disconnects and mfl nipples... yeah thatll wait.

I have two beers currently fermenting right now.

Looking awesome.. did you screw the manifold into the foam, or through the foam and into the wood?

Used I think 1-1/2" screws. Those go into the wood. The foam is just press fit into there. So it just rests on top of the insulation while actually being anchored in the wood.
