Hi guys,
This is my first Keezer build, but last year I built a kegerator, so this isn't totally my first time doing something like this.
I have been wanting something that can hold a 1/2 barrel ever since I called about getting New Belgium's Side Trip beer in a keg..... it only came in a half barrel
Later on down the road a buddy of mine came across a 6 tap T tower and some odds and ends to go with it...
I started to research which freezer chest to buy. At first I had my eyes on the GE 10cuft as it seemed big enough for a half barrel. But then I started thinking about it. If I had a half barrel in there, I couldn't get more than maybe 2 or 3 other kegs in. Not to mention, there was a good sale going for the 10cuft, but the price shot up just as I realized the limitations of the freezer. I was glad it worked out that way.
The freezer I ended up with is the Whilepool 15 cuft, model: WZC3115DW
I really liked that this unit has a very small hump in it. In fact it only takes up one corner of the freezer.
I had gone back and forth on what kind of top I wanted for the keezer. I ended up going with a maple butcher block 'table top" sold at Uline. I got the 60"x36" top and cut it down to size.
So enough blabbing, here are some pics.
Just delivered.
The insides...
The top, uncut:
The T tower
As I should have known from my previous years of word working.... don't bite off too much...
Had issues with the maple splintering... Didn't care while it was in the middle of the cut out..... but lost a corner here.
