First Time Post here. I am considered a Newby, but have some experience.
My 1961 AMANA Keezer has died. It was my First only Keezer I built in 2005. I still have it as I am going to strip some of the parts from it and I will have a picture up of it soon. It was extremely Ugly, yet cool in itself and there was a technique I did to mount the dual towers to the lid that I have not seen on any forum at all so I will post that later. To put this a better way, the beer is not flowing at my house so I told my wife that the Keezer is now a new priority for both her an my sanity. (It actually worked). :rockin:
In the meantime, I have a Kenmore 14.8 cu ft Freezer - Model 16542 that I found on Craigslist for $150. Brand new and barely used so I scored there. I am going to provide Freezer information to the ongoing thread here and hopefully add another to the list:https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f35/chest-freezer-specs-layouts-377518/
I will be documenting my build throughout the process. I will be making a 10" Collar which, based on other similar Keezer builds, can hold about 6 1/6 barrels. Sorry guys, I do not brew my own beer....yet.
I usually search...and search.... and search to find my answers but if I come up short, then I will ask.
CO2 Questions
1) Since I am adding 6 tappers to the Collar, can anyone recommend a CO2 Manifold? I do not want a cheap DIY but something of good quality and I am willing to pay for quality. Jester had one with gauges for a 7 tap system but I can not find it anywhere. Something similar or recommended for a 6 tap system would be great!
I am used to having two towers and having 2 full size kegs in my old set up. I am not used to manifolds so any information is greatly appreciated.
2) Point/link me to a decent 6 way manifold that others have used in setups. I see a lot of DIY projects, but nothing linking me to where to get one.
3) Link me to proper gauges for the manifold
4) What the heck is a check valve and where do I get one? Link?
5) I see some people have gauges on every manifold outlet some people just have 1 gauge. Any help here would be great.
I have my Bill Of materials for the Collar and the Dolly and I will post this process when the time comes. I need some help with my questions above to start ordering the parts.
Thank you!!
