I'm such a redneck

Phase 2 of the free freezer. Its pretty small and can only hold 3 corny kegs (5 gallons each). So I added a 2x4 to the top and installed 3 faucets.

It's almost like it knew what I was doing or something. The hinges moved up perfectly, with plenty of adjustment to get the lid to seal air tight.

We got us a beer / cider kezzer now

Now all we need is a drip tray, which I just ordered.

Yes, broody hens are all that and then some. But, for some reason... my gals all chose to skip maternity detail this summer.

My little redneck ice cold beer on demand machine is complete.

First pour the Oktoberfest is still warm but I had to try it. I built a simple 8 1/4" square box for the green house gas (CO2) 20 lb tank (right hand side).

I set the temperature controller for 40 degrees, its currently 65.7 inside the freezer.

Only the left faucet is loaded with a single keg of dark Oktoberfest. Even at room temperature the beer is malty and delicious.

I'm pretty happy with it.

I've been using this dual temperature controller and the freezer to cold crash and lager just above freezing. Its a slick little controller. It came with one of the brew gear kits I bought from an individual off of Craigslist.

That's skill right there! How many guys would love to have a freezer of beer with faucets!!!!

Yes exactly up to 15 gallons of cold, on demand tap beer.

My aunt had 2 beer tappers on the spare fridge in her garage, most people only had one so she was something special.
BTW, garage = party room in that area of Wisconsin.

NOT FAIR !! It's your job to know that stuff...the rest of us just have to spend $$$. THAT is why I have broody hens. They do all the work.


As to a keg -- that's a lifetime of drink for me. I'm a 6-pack a yr on beer. But wine...get out of the way!
