The Blue Light Special Keezer

The LEDs are cheep and can be found at Autozone, Checker, Walmart auto center etc. Why reinvent the wheel.

 

[davekippen]

Where did you source what looks like perforated stainless for behind the taps?

 

[MarsingRedneck]

Does anyone use an upright freezer? Or are they all chest freezers? Reason I ask is becuse being age71 it's not as easy lifting straight up as it use to be.

MarsingRedneck - you should be able to use any type of fridge or freezer - vertical, horizontal, diagonal, whatever - as long as the keg(s) fit inside and you can mount the taps.

Tim, your controller is a MH-1210C. I have the MH-1210F which is identical except the readout is in °F. I'm putting a duplex outlet at the back of my collar with one switched and one unswitched outlet.

Does this look correct?

fwiw, I have an MH1210F I just mounted in the lid of my new keezer and your wiring diagram is correct to provide an always-on and a switched side of your duplex outlet...

Cheers!

I am a bit of a pack rat. I tend to collect unique metal. This was a piece my company was discarding from a showroom. Most steal shops have scraps or will cut similar size pieces at a reasonable price. In Denver we have DenCol. www.dencol.com , they carry some ornamental steel to choose from.

Yes.. I agree with Day_Tripper, your wiring design looks correct. Fyi, my unit is in F as well, but the digests are not the same size. I have learned to live with it and really don't notice it anymore... Works like a charm and cheap to build. Can I Get an AMEN!

 

[day_trippr]

Pretty sure the MH1210 has always been a Fahrenheit device, with the letter suffix being the revision. The current revision is G...

Cheers!

Found this guy on ebay. Basically 10 cents per square inch and custom cut to order.

Master aviator,
How is the build going? Your eBay sample is very similar to what I used to back my recessed taps.

 

[masteraviator]

I think it turned out well. I ended up buying steel grating and painting it with the same black appliance paint. I still need to touch up the paint some. Trying PlastiDip on the seal to see how it works.

Thanks Tim. Stole a lot of ideas from you; but that's what these forums are for.
