My brain is working WAY faster than my hands right now. After being jealous of BrewPastor's altar and envying Jester's keezer build, I decided to put some ideas down on virtual paper. I have a 15 cu ft Kenmore chest freezer awaiting transformation to a 6-9 tap keezer (it holds 8 or 9 Cornelius kegs and is tall enough to work without a collar). It will double as a bar, jutting out peninsula-style from the adjoining wall. For that reason, BP's and Jester's designs don't work well. I considered putting the taps on an octagonal pedestal in the dead center of the bar top, but every iteration of that design just looked awkward. So, I settled on a design with the taps on one end. The cabinet will be about 10" longer than the freezer itself to accommodate a 20 lb CO2 cylinder and a 40 cu ft Nitrogen (or Argon) cylinder. A couple of fans will facilitate cooling/circulation for the compressor. Temperature control will be courtesy of a Ranco ETC-111000.
Can you tell I REALLY liked Jester's design? I even plan on using rope lighting under the taps in a similar manner. Nice job, Jester!
