Great Homemade Tap Handle Idea

[Flakk]

Scorched Earth Brewing Company is opening up soon in Algonquin, IL, and just posted these tap handle photos on their website. I may attempt to make something similar this fall when I turn my chest freezer into a keezer.

Makes me think of Steam Punk...

How about a steam punk themed keezer?

That'd look pretty wild!:rockin:

I don't like completely stealing other people's ideas, but one of these would go well with the keezer I just built....I'll do copper instead of galvanized.

Those look HEAVY(!!!) for tap handles... I would be concerned about damaging the taps. I like the look, but not sure if it would be good for the equipment

You could probably get a lot of that material for free if you look around a bit. Old fences being replaced by newer vinyl ones, or even busted shipping pallets. I have an old fence with a hinge that looks very similar to one of those but I'll probably get an earful if I start tearing my fence down for tap handles...right now I'm just using sawed off table legs but I'm still looking for something better.
