So I got my basement bar 90% complete, and began working on the keezer. I spent months researching all the forums, and building a spreadsheet of parts to find best prices, deals, etc. I already had a 5.0 CU FT freezer, and after doing my due diligence, I figured out that w/ a collar, I can fit 2 cornys/sixtels on the floor, 1 on the hump, with a 5lb tank and still have a decent amount of room. Of course, I knew I'd want to grow eventually, so I built the bar with space to actually fit up to a 10 cu ft keezer down the line.
So, here's my parts list, with prices at bottom:
1. Idylis 5.0 CU FT Freezer- Bought 4 years ago at lowest for $168
2. 2x10x8- Bought 1 to make the collar. Screwed it up and boards got warped so had to buy another.
3. Krome Dispense 4" SS Shanks- Bought 3 from my LHBS
4. 3/16" tail piece. Bought 3 from LHBS.
5. Beer Nut. Bought 3 from LHBS.
6. Faucet wrench. Bought 1 from LHBS.
7. Faucet handle M2F adapter. For making my own tap handles. Bought 3 from LHBS.
8. Faucet handle M2M adapter. For attaching said tap handles. Bought 3 from LHBS.
9. Perlick 630SS faucets. Bought 2 from LHBS.
10. Intertap SS faucet (unsure on model). Bought 1 from LHBS. I liked the options it offered, and price was right.
11. Intertap growler filler adapter. Bought from LHBS
12. 3-way CO2 manifold. Bought from LHBS.
13. 5 gallon ball-lock Corny. Bought 1 from LHBS.
14. CM Becker Ball Lock Liquid 1/4" MFL QD- Bought 2 online.
15. CM Becker Ball lock Gas 1/4" MFL QD- Bought 2 online.
16. 1/4" to 3/16" swivel nut- bought 2 online.
17. 1/4" to 5/16" swivel nut- bought 2 online.
18. Mini tubing cutter
19. 5/16" ID Gas tubing- Bought 20' online.
20. 3/16" ID Beer tubing- Bought 50' online.
21. Screw clamps- bought 14 online.
22. 5lb CO2 tank. Got lucky and got it for free from local beer distributor. Only paid for air fill.
23. Dual body, dual primary regulator. Allows different pressure to different kegs (i'll have beer AND soda on tap). Got a great deal online.
24. Thermaltake mobile external cooling fan- bought 1 online.
25. Inkbird ITC-308 Digital Temperature Thermostat. Bought 1 online.
26. Kegco Sanke Coupler (D System). Got 2 online, figuring I'll have commercial kegs hooked up for a little while.
Total price for everything listed above (freezer not included as i previously owned it) is $668.41. With freezer, its about $820.
