Kegging Setups

[Tahoose]

Sweet setups, am I assuming that it is built around a kegerator / 2 kegerators side by side?

 

[Crusty]

So I finally finished my outdoor mobile bar projects. 10 taps for parties, including my old english handpump on the wine barrel.
The bars are made from blackbutt and mini-orb. I pinch my 6 tap goal post font from my inside bar for one and the other has a dedicated 3 tap T bar.

Yes tahoose. The 6 tap has 2 kegerators and the 3 tap has 1.

I found myself googling the location of Bowral and hoping it was near me. Epic.

Haha. How far?

No jokes on me! I drool over this thread yet I have 3 taps and shanks still sitting unused and kegs from another bulk buy, I'm only lacking co2 and a suitable fridge/freezer.
I really must get that project moving...

 

[H0U5ECAT]

So, what's peoples thoughts on a CO2 tank and reg on the inside of their keezer?
Yes, it fits nicely on the hub, but any effects on the reg?

 

[spog]

Found these on the net.might be helpful for someone setting up
.


If it were mine I would mount a guard over top of the gauges .

Mckenry, I tried to PM you but maybe your inbox is full. I have a couple of questions.
Cheers

Hi all, have lasted @ 12 months washing bottles and can't convince the better half to help because it's sooo much fun to do.....
So went out and got some kegs, lines, co2 and fittings etc etc.
Anyway had a small chest freezer and a mate had some spare red gum boards

Looks great, good job. I convinced the missus to help with bottling last weekend and now she's suddenly come around to the idea of kegging. Funny that... B)

What timber is that? Looks like young fijian mahogany.
Came up a treat too.
Who's spray booth are you using?

Kennek that looks great. I'm forever envious of people with woodworking skills !!! I struggled enough putting some polyurethane on my basic collar made of pine

Thanks HOU5ECAT It's all red gum with some pine ply in the centre sections, but stained with a dark mahogany. And I snuck it through the spray booth in between cars at my workshop.

Cheers Josh, zero woodworking skills here mate lol. Just lucky enough to have a few ppl answer a few of my (more than likely stupid) questions when it came to the clamping/gluing the lid. Anyway it was a bit of fun to do and the missus will now allow it in the lounge room

Ongoing keg freezer saga:
I now have some pushloc taps for the (flooded) cobra fonts.
and a few other bits and bobs.
Here is my latest mock-up. Still need another tray (this one is borrowed from the keg fridge and duplicated in the attached image)
or a stainless counter top, as suggested by MHB.
Not as nice as the timber-clad units, but this is show-pony enough, I reckon

 

[scottfrompubs]

Looking good everyone!

I added a little finishing touch to my keezer. After months of using rags on the ground to soak up the drips, I have decided I need a drip tray. Inspired from some pics here, from fellow keezer owners whom have similar freezers with coils running all the way down the sides, I figured out a nice way to mount one. Hopefully it inspires others to make even better and even more better looking solutions for their keezers.

That is some jack chain I pinched from work, the hardest part was getting the timber stained to the right colour as my collar, which I got close, but still not perfect. I may double sided tape the timber to the keezer to stop it swing around a bit, but so far it doesnt move too much at all. Will be picking up my drip tray today and see how it goes.

Cheers

Pics fixed now

 

[1974Alby]

I can click on the url and se the pics...didnt show up as images in the post though.

great idea for mounting a drip tray!

 

[angus_grant]

Looking good Scott.
I had to click on the link to view the images though.

 

[spog]

Scott, if your game at drilling into the wall of your keezer ( carefully ) see if you find a piece of ally channel to suit the mounting board,then pop rivet it to the side,slide the board in and bung a couple or small screws through the channel underneath to hold it on place.

 

[angus_grant]

I plan on using a big rare earth magnet to hold my drip tray for my keezer build later this year. Sounds good in theory.

No holes, no risk of magic gas escaping due to errant drill holes.

 

[sponge]

Angus, I had a similar setup on my old keg fridge but lost a few schooners one night when a mate was pouring them and leaving the full ones on the drip tray and eventually the magnets gave way, losing beer and glass in the process.

I may have had undersized magnets, but if you are going down that path, get some heavy duty rare earth magnets!

 

[sponge]

That, or have a sign saying not to leave full glasses on the tray when filling

 

[DJ_L3ThAL]

All good until the future war over rare earth metals, they'll be comin' fo' yo' keezer!!!

mckenry, where'd you get those smaller tap handles - they're exactly what I'm looking for.
