I love the keezer build and hope you still have it. All the neigh sayers I have seen have always talked about a the constant warming of your kegs and lines when ever the keezer is opened.

I am with you in the fact that on top of a few kegs, I like to have a variety of cans and bottles in the fridge. An upright keeper seems like the best solution for me.

Have you had any problems with foaming due to kegs and lines getting warm because of the constant opening?

I DO still have it, however I did add one tap out the side that I use the majority of the time (see pic). The internal taps are still there and they are functional. I had zero issue with the beer temp dropping whenever the door was opened. I would guess the beer in your glass would drop way more than any lines or kegs from the door being opened. The keezer would just kick on sooner if the temp did drop a little.

One thing I did discover however, is that some of my quick disconnect fittings had brass in them and they did impart a metallic flavor particularly in my IPA's. So just be aware of that.

Cheers!

Love this build, especially the bottle storage on top. Have been thinking about something similar. I've been finding a lot of the upright freezers on Craigslist have non-removable shelves though. What is the make and cu. ft. of this guy?
