Here is inside the freezer.



Here is just the lid up from another angle to show the internal and external collar.



And here are the lines in the beer line trunking etc.

Hey Doc, how does the collar attach to the freezer?

 

[Doc]

The internal collar sits on top.
The external collar keeps it in place.

Doc

I got around to getting a keg system together, just gassing up my first ever keg now.
I have got a beer gun - no taps as of yet, still waiting for a good price for some taps for a 3-way andale tap setup.

One question, there are a lot of chest freezer users around here, how do you stop it from freezing the beer in the lines? (or even the whole keg)

EDIT: Can anyone help me out as to where to get some taps for this style of post? (see photo)

Hey Muga,

If you are using a chest freezer you can either alter the thermostat or buy an external one that plugs into the power cord and turns the freezer on and of at set temps. Pretty useful if you are wanting to ferment at lower temps for lagers :beerbang:

Try this thread for some more info.

Thanks, loads of information there.
I think I might see if there is a good second hand freezer for a good price, it's a much better setup, only thing is - what would the power usage of a chest freezer with a pump running to keep the pole frosty?

I love looking at all the pics...you get so many ideas

Heres my setup, simple but effective. Holds 2 kegs, extinguisher and cube.

Me too
Mine could hold 4 kegs if I put some kind of base over the compressor hump. I might get around to that one day.
Here's a couple of my simple setup.

Had to move to the new fridge prematurely due to problems with the old one.
I havent got my font and tap set up yet or built my bar, so not sure where to put the hole/holes yet there fore the CO2 is in there as well for the time being.

I love the ceramic two tap font. Very very nice.
I've always got my eye out for a four tap + ceramic font for my bar.
The portable setup looks very swish too.

The gallery should be back up very shortly, so you can post the pics in more detail.

Beers,
Doc

 

[Borret]

Mmmmmmm gallery (homer simpson voice)

Won't that be getting a workout when it's up and running

And I also love the ceramic font. Very tidy.

Offline - how does your regulator perform whilst in the fridge - humidity etc? I've heard that it can be a bad thing, but I haven't seen any evidence to support or contradict.

haven't had a problem yet, it will be external when I decide where to put the hole for the gas line, to make room for another keg inside. i also haven't seen any evidence either way.

Nearly have my "new" keg fridge finished ...so it will be out with the old and in with the new!!

I picked up the big unit at a garage sale, gave it coat of off-white marine 2pac, new seals, threw one of warbs giant stickers on the front and finished it with a few taps fron BD.
Have gone from two keg capacity to six ...and earned a lagering fridge in the process :super:

Here's some pics...

Jimmy - u might want to replace the plastic tray with something more substantial ie pineboard or mdf. i presume the stubbies underneath are holding it up ?
