Wife says no on Keezer

[vrodbrad]

So I asked the wife if I could turn the chest freezer into a keezer and she said hell no(. Well there goes that idea. I don't have the room to put one in at this point, and don't want to really bottle anymore. So I think for now I am going to get the tap a draft system. found a guy selling a fridge turned into a kegerator for 65 dollars here in klamath falls, OR, on craigslist, but like i said no room for that either dang it. but all well.

You could always do a jockey box... keep the keg warm, cool the beer before it's poured.

Welp, that's it. Time to get a new wife.

my girl originally frowned... So searching through Keezer projects I found one that closely matched our furniture & called her in to show it to her.

I said, "hey, babe... check out this guys shoe cabinet"

Once I heard her say, "oh that looks nice.... but are those beer fauc.."

I cut the bitch off and said 'oh, you likie? good, cause I'm building one, it's for beer, & its going in the kitchen'



actually, I did show her one that matches our stuff pretty closely & she did like it. That gave me the ok to attempt a build and make room for one.

If space is an issue, you could perhaps find a wine cooler fridge - they come in a size that is bigger/taller than a mini fridge - and put a keg inside it with a picnic tap. I have one of those and it works well. It requires some space, but its much smaller than a keezer or regular kegerator.

Is this by any chance a chest freezer full of food? Could that perhaps be the problem?

That's why my stepdad built a shed and decked it out, since he moved into my mom's house haha. It's got everything. And then maybe she'll come around because she misses you haha (or secretly wants to control you)

Fill the fridge w/ TAD bottles, she will LOVE that...

I'd say a divorce is in order here. Get a good lawyer, though. You want to make sure you get that chest freezer in the settlement.

And during the proceedings, if she goes after the chest freezer... then you will know that it was never meant to be.

Easy solution. Say, "Sweetie, which would you rather have sitting in the living room when your parents come to visit?"


This?

Or this?

"...because one of them will be."

Posts like this make me love my wife and super hero collectible decorated man cave.

It doesn't seem to be a secret

As practical the second solution is... in a deep south kind of way... I find it amusing that they installed the premium tap handle!

Have you tried withholding sex?

My wife (then fiance) helped me build my keezer. Her father is a machinist and taught her how to use tools. My father is a nurse so I did not learn. I drew up the designs, and she made all the cuts and measurements. Because we worked on the project together, it isn't my keezer or her keezer but our keezer. My wife didn't really support me moving into kegging until I started working on temperature control and yeast starters and the quality of my beer increased dramatically to the point where she was drinking it and giving it to her friends.

Find out why your wife doesn't want you to build the keezer - is she concerned with the cost, your beer, space, your consumption and eventual weight gain (it happens to everyone), or is she just being a spiteful witch? Find out if you can find a solution to it. If not, well it's your money too so you can build the keezer and then ask for forgiveness later.

Does your wife drink any soda (seltzer water or pop)? You can always install a tap just for that so she can enjoy something from the keezer.

My wife let me put mine right beside the kitchen table. I don't even have to get out of my seat for a refill!

I don't know where you are, but right now I have 4 kegs chilling outside on a 3rd floor deck with a tarp over them. It doesn't get cold enough here to freeze them so outside is a great option for the winter. I have a little bar fridge that fits one keg but I always have a few full kegs that I have to store at ambient temps. In the summer you can either drink it warm or fill up a growler and put it in the freezer for a half hour. Its not as good as a keezer but better than bottling.

I got a very old kegerator (off craigslist) and rebuilt it, it was suppose to go into a back room out of sight, but once I re-finished the oak top, and changed out the crusty old chrome 2 tap tower for a all Brass 3 tap tower and showed it to her, she said thats to nice to put in the back room, its now in the dining room, sometimes they just need to see it.

Cheers

Never ask for permission. Do it then ask for forgiveness.

My wife got sick of me storing bottles all over the kitchen. Kegging by annoyance ftw.

 

[Monster Mash]

I don't ask my wife anything, I tell her how it's going to be..... It works as long as I don't spend too much money.

I just don't know why I never thought of this (the growler idea)

I'm going to go buy some kegs ASAP after Christmas...finally!

 

[Intimnasc]

Welp, that's it. Time to get a new wife.

Amen to that.

I picked up two brand new in the box GE 7 cubic footers for 100 dollars each. One is already fermenting 10 gallons of Lager and the other is scheduled to become a kegerator after the first of the year. But wow I am pricing my start-up for 4 kegs at about 800 dollars. This little hobby of mine is getting expensive.
