But you could cram more in if you really wanted to?

Tried, but the centre support where the doors seal on to fouls <_<

May have done things a little differently next time, but hey, every bloke needs a project :drinks:
 
I only got 2 and thats annoying, It is bearable if you plan ahead and have a brew ready to force carb and only try to drink 1 keg at a time. 4 would be ideal 2 pouring 2 carbing.

I think you mean four pouring ;)

(trust me on that ;))

Ahh okay, looks like a sweet setup anyway.
 
This is mine now.

Going to paint the plywood gloss black, the shelf will be stained and I'll be putting a blackboard above the taps.

Will be replacing the two cheapo flow controller taps with 4 Perlicks, stainless shanks and flow controllers.

Gas bottle will soon be outside the fridge too allowing 5 kegs inside with manifold.
 
well, its been 6 months in the making, and countless hours of negotiation with the mrs, but its all been worth it, now got beer in the kitchen just in time for xmas

While the frosted font looks pretty, I can't help thinking you'd be killing all the flavour in your beer by serving it that cold.

works well with the VB clones ;)

i wouldnt say 'killing' the flavour coz it tends to come back to life if you let it warm a little, plus there is only about 50ml of beer in the line that sits at subzero temps, the rest of it is in the keg sitting at whatever temp i dial in

That's true and the frosting is pretty.
 
Awesome setup!

(Tiling looks a little loose and not sure the wallpaper matches the font though...) ;) :p

those bloody tiles are handmade, could have got the same result and saved $ using normal tiles and a bodgie tradesman (maybe PJ)

You DO NOT **** around hey mate!

Days in total hours of drooling over your brew rig build thread and now this..... Unbelievable.

Looks like all brand spanking kegs too.

I don't know what scratchy you won but grats! ;)

Soo awesome... do it well, do it once aye!

:icon_cheers:
 
Got my manifold all set up.
Nice solid unit, taps and NRV on each line.
2 small problems:
Made in USA, for their oversize beer / gas lines. While some here have been able to get out 6mm ID lines onto the 8mm barbs, I could not. Luckily, Lancer industries (no affiliation etc) have SS 6mm to 8mm barbed adaptors. Easy fixed!
Other problem, too tight a fit for inside my keezer. If installed internally, I would have to remove 2 kegs to get 1 out.
Simple solution - mount the bugger externally. Didn't bother screwing it onto the collat, just drilled 4 holes and jamed the 8mm ID line into them. Good fit, also I don't have to open the lid to open or close off individual taps.
