Mate, sorry Bro, Absolutely awesome!

Looks amazing.. My quick tips are about sometimes 'less is more'.

Remove the All Blacks flags and the Carlton Draught thing...

KEEP - the AC/DC ticket.


:super:

 

[T_Kiwi]

AC/DC was great, corparate box and free beer all night

My Kegerator Setup Build - F&P H275X

Collar made from pre primed pine 90mm * 42mm
Brackets hold front and 120mm screws through the back



Beer engine clamps onto a perpendicular piece



Beer engine mechanics


Drip tray is 400mm wide with a 150mm splash back



Freezer is lined with the sticky foam stuff - 40-42mm by 3mm from memory


STC-1000 with a flush powerpoint to run the fan - the white switch controls the fan



Inside before painting


Finally setup



Temp controller and beer engine


Gas line in on left, fan in, beer engine out on right
Will hold 7 kegs (1 on hump)



The metal is aluminium sheet - found cutting it with a stanley knife and a straight edge worked best, made holes with a spade bit
The drip tray is held up by picture hooks which are pop riveted into the sheet


The Perlick taps (525SS) are most awesome, much smoother action than any other taps I've come across



Cheers

Edit: Change from 8 kegs to 7 kegs

Very nice neat setup there Cortez.

Just curious, why do you have the fan on a manual switch? My thoughts would be to set the fan to run every time the freezer is kicked in by the STC1000

Cheers SJ

Very nice setup Cortez. Same freezer as me. I, however, can only fit 7 kegs (including one on the hump) in mine...

I'm probably going to have to re-do the collar on mine soon, as the wood I used has started to split a little around the joins... Obviously I didn't seal it well enough initially...

Cheers

 

[Cortez The Killer]

I thought about having the fan controlled by the temp controller initially but read some where that it was best to have the fan circulating the whole time for a more even temp throughout the freezer

Also the freezer seems to be hardly ever on

The switch is basically there so I can turn the fan off when opening the lid so as to not start pulling warm air into the freezer

Cheers

Out of interest, how long did you make your beer lines?

I've just checked my notes and you're right it's 7

Sorry about that

Cheers
