My portable keg bar

[Aus.Morgo]

Wow, how did you get all that stuff in it? It hardly looks big enough for the kegs and gas never mind the suitcase and tool boxes etc! Must be a bit of a blue box TARDIS thing going on?

With great skill and difficulty

 

[Aus.Morgo]

That's very impressive.

How is the timber top fixed to the existing lid?
Also, what's the internal height?

One of these would make moving it pretty easy.

Thanks

Liquid nails to hold it in place, after a day or so I put through 6 long timber screws with large washers using the impact drill and sealed them over with silicone.

Is there enough room to put ice in it? Or does it just rely on it's own thermal mass? I suppose a bucks with 20 thirsty blokes it wouldn't have time to go warm

Fantastic setup, AM. Really impressive piece of work. Thanks for posting your little piece of inspiration.

Might need a bit more shiny stainless steel though [emoji6]

Actually, have you looked at a veneer for the very very blue esky? Wood or aluminum sheet/sticker, or paint (chrome or silver, of course!), etc

Still plenty of room for ice, we put 3 bags in and some water to make a slurry. Seemed to work quite well and a lot of ice was still there a couple days later.

Get a printed vinyl skin made for it. Kiss Army!!!

I think hiding the blue will be next, I had thought of painting it black like I did to the white lid before fixing the timber top (mainly the sides of the white lid) but still black is black and not ideal for an esky. .

I do have some left over timber from the top which I think looks quite nice as a front section so may end up doing that.

Trial look below from when I was building it.

I use one of these to haul a 6kw generator around building sites. Big wheels make it easy to get over rough ground. The sides come off to make a flat surface. I didn't get mine from this place, just a link to show what it is.

Needless to say I'm impressed.

Dare I ask though.. rough cost? I recognise those font pieces from KegKing.

Does the good woman know about this enquiry mtb?

 

[malt junkie]

Addition tells me $1200 font and taps +$120 timber top +$248 esky+driptray+$720 kegs+line+disconects+manifold+reg+CO2

My guestimate just under $3000

I was just curious Grott!

..on a completely separate tangent, she's going to be accepting a delivery of kegs and associated gear next week. Total bargains on Gumtree, so nice of KegKing to ship them for me.

I'd say atleast $3500.

The font pieces are ok, some issues but they have worked well and I do like the modularity of them.

Close but I'd say my $3500 is being conservative as well. Some things were a little more pricey that you could get cheaper if you needed to. I spent the extra and bought the Italian made kegs, the drip tray was over $300 (custom made in the US and sent over), FC taps but you could use much cheaper taps, etc.
