Hey everyone. Thanks to everyone for all the awesome posts. I'm finally getting going with my keezer. I've painted it black (the front is chalkboard, and the rest is glossy). I'm going to work on the collar in the coming days/weeks. Here are the specs:
GE 7.0 Used and definitely not the ones on the market as of 2013.
4 Taps
1 Stout
3 Perlick SS (will probably use one of these for soda)
I'm going to install all the hardware, but I probably won't have the stout up and running for some time.
As I build the collar, I'm planning on using 1 x 10 or 1 x 8 cedar. Probably with a red stain. Do most people use a gloss on the collar? I feel like a stain should be sufficient. Anyone have any opinions about using cedar for the collar? I was going to use poplar, but realized that cedar was cheaper and looked just as nice, if not nicer.
