Yet Another Keezer Build

[John_FL]

Here is my four tap keezer build using the Frigidare 7.2. It is tough getting the fourth keg in there, but with proper positioning and a little finesse they all fit.

I was able to get the four shanks and faucets for $20 off a guy getting out of the hobby. I'd like some non brass faucets someday, but I couldn't pass that deal up.

Painted the whole thing with chalkboard paint. I some stainless around the collar and a bunch of machine screws to make it look a little classier. The stainless is just really thin flashing and decorative only.

I LOVE the chalkboard paint idea!
Putting that one in the mental storage unit for future endeavors.

Looks great ... but give us some details ... for example, what type of controller did you go with? (that's about the only decision I have left on mine)

I used the Ranco single stage controller.

I had to fit the keezer inside that exact spot, so I just put the CO2 inside the keezer on the shelf. I didn't have much room to store it outside.

Used a 12 volt computer fan powered by an old cell phone charger to equalize the temps. between top and bottom.

I went cheap on my CO2 distribution and just used T joints instead of a manifold with check valves. I will upgrade that once I have a chance. Manifolds just seem way over priced.

The collar is hinged, and the lid is attached to the collar with a combination of sink caulking (to air prevent leaks) and Gorilla double sided tape. I was worried about that being secure enough, but it is rock solid ( I actually built this a few weeks ago and never posted)

The collar was just some cheap pine since I planned on covering it with the flashing anyway. I insulated with some styrofoam.

On all the corners I put some aluminum angle iron. This served two purposes, it helped keep my collar square, and made it so I didn't have to deal with meeting the flashing at the edges and having some slop.

I can't take credit for the chalkboard paint or computer fan. I learned both of those ideas on here.

Thanks for the compliments!
