ghhb that is one seriously impressive bar and brew area! It must have taken ages to set it all up like that! Going to be building my outdoor bar over the Christmas holidays, although it'll be nothing on the scale of that setup.

Holy Crap...that is awsome.

 

[porky]

That looks great. Top job.
Do you brew where the rig is sitting??
Place is so nice and clean and tidy.
Nice work.

Love the BBG as well. Fantastic :icon_cheers:

Cheers,
Bud

been meaning to do this for a while

the new and improved set up

had a chest freezer that only held 6 kegs and was a pain to open

picked up the fridge from an auction

garden red gum sleepers from bunnings and an electric plainer

tap came from the old set up

brother picked up the engine in the uk after i bought it on ebay.

sleepers were rough sawn, and needed a lot of plaining and sanding, glued and bolted together with thread rod, then painted with glass coat- the single most expensive part of the project.

the wood has warped a bit and not flat as it was, if it has stopped now, should be ok.

fridge goes ok but a bit louder than the freezer may get it serviced soon

in all reasonably happy, makes a great bar and dinner table

Yes ... brew right where it sits ... the back wall (and the bar front) is covered with those thin rock like tiles ... which I picked us at only $30/sqm at a remnant sale instead of $130/sqm. Now I guess firing up the mongolian burner inside a room is technically dodgy ... and the room does get a bit warm if I brew back to back ... but the room is also air conditioned. This also helps to control fermentation temperature all year round ...although I do have another fridge behind the grinder for fermenting lagers and lagering kegs. Might add a roof vent next year with the tax return cheque.

The bar and brewery has ended up the second most used room in the house ... only problem is we're drinking every night ... not that there's anything wrong with that :beer:

Slowly getting my setup done
put the wheels on and put the freezer in today
all thats left is the temp controler, spotted gum top, the white mini orb sides, the beer/gas lines and glycol tank and pump



Cheers

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.

i just set mine up today! excited about my first keg! all i need now it the soda stream bottle adaptor and its all done. (till i get a proper gas bottle)

will strengthen the clearanced wire shelf and make a half bottom shelf

bit of chopping and heat gunning had the door shelves scalloped to clear the keg

 

[komodo]

Very practical setup there WHYPSI.

GHHB I think you just caused a stir in nearly every australian males pants with that setup!
VERY NICE!

F*(&^%ck me dead!

now i have 2 extra kegs with brews waiting and going to buy a party keg for my outings.
