Well Sunday arvo we knocked up the new collar for the chest freezer that replaced my old one that died. Still second time around its a piece of piss though with lessons learnt from the first.

Basically 4 sides of 19mm wood with smaller also 19mm thick batons running along the top and bottom inside to give a better surface area to stick it down and for the fridge seals to sit. The middle then gets plugged with polystyrene to insulate and its easy to cut it and wedge it in nice and tight. Gas line feeds thru from outside and so to the temp probe. The wire basket is perfect to mount the pc fan blowing cold air on the back of the tap shanks and hold my hops, candi sugar and stubbies of yeast sit on the compressor hump. A suction cup bathroom shelf serves as drip tray .

Its still going to get some more bling with some decals I have planned to work with the funky red collar . A fourth tap hole is plugged up ready and awaing a fourth tap. I'm pretty happy with end result. Upgrades will include a 5 valve manifold, more kegs (can fit two on the hump and maybe wheels. Going to be a hit this summer I think.

Okay but the bar fridge itself is something 'off the shelf' right? If so what model is it and can you take an internal pic with no kegs inside at all?

Cheers.

Actually we have a beer bath/tip jar and last Friday night I made $50! Not that I'm selling my beers. BTW Wonderwoman ... if I wasn't
married to my third wife I'd take you up on the offer. However the bar was all her idea ... that's why I married her! :beerbang:

After being a long time bottler am keen to build a keg system and this is just the sort of thing I can sell the SWMBO on. Well played I imagine it gives you much pleasure.

Great thread, BTW. Many impressive and innovative set-ups. :beerbang:

He's quoting a post from 5 years ago and says that a standard cornie keg looks 'nice'. Come on, surely it's a gee up.

[litre_o_cola]

Finally got my arse into gear and got a set up going for summer.
This old fridge is a hand me down been in the family for a long time.
First stage is one tap, two kegs, with room for expansion.
Gave her a snappy paint job and off we go.

Bar is in production with an old stainless elevator door to be used for the wet area (will post pics on completion)

I picked up a 320 litre chest freezer on Wednesday. I haven't got a temp reg yet so it's just sitting there till santa brings me what I need.

That plan is to use the fridge for fermentation.

Would you believe I have only 2 kegs at the moment?

 

[mxd]

you better jump on for the xmas speacial 4 kegs delivered $200.

Are you going a collar or font ?

 

[MarkBastard]

Gee mate did you network your chest freezer too?
