Keezer build progress.

[BranEverhardt]

So I started my keezer build. Faceplate is pine and I plan to just use polyurethane and no stain. The co2 tank will be outside the keezer. I plan to add a dehumidifier. I need to Sand, apply the poly, caulk it. Then run the lines. Wont be long!


Not all parts shown here just a quick shot of the main gas/liquid hardware.





Inner 2x6 framed with the front pine faceplate.





Bolts and brackets. 2 strips of 3/4" weather stripping the frame sits on.





Rear end..





Shanks





Front roughed in just for a quick pic..

Don't forget your drip tray. What is the size of that freezer? Mine is 7.2 cu ft and I have it drilled out for 6 taps ( only running with 5 right now ).

Nice work.

Thanks. Its 7 cu ft. I made some cardboard cutouts of the kegs. Cardboard discs if you will. I could only fit 3 in there due to the compressor hump.

I found a pretty awesome setup for the drip tray. Get 2 decorative wooden shelf brackets. Like these these. You can stain and finish them to match the collar. Bonus! Then use mounting tape to attach them to the freezer. Then simply set the drip tray on the brackets and secure it in place with velcro. I think the tape is rated for 5lbs of weight.

2 of my kegs are on the hump, but I had to use 10" boards so the lid wouldn't hit them. I did my first collar with 2x6's and paid the price for not planning ahead.

Great adjustment. If I ramp up to 5 kegs I will remember that. I am a new brewer and 3 kegs is probably my max capacity for the near future. Funny I have only been brewing for 8 months and have a great friend who has showed me the ropes. Between the knowledge I have gained from this community and him, I am totally HOOKED. I have brewed a few extracts and already have a keezer Im proud of that a lil hahaha.
