cool.
Thanks.That looks absolutely awesome, and is very similar to what my dream keezer looks like......
I'll keep an eye on it. I'm looking for other solutions but the styrofoam is working for now. The top isn't permanently attached to the sides, so I can easily fix it when it becomes necessary.I would think that that styrofoam press/friction seal would wear out over 3-4 dozen slides in and out, and that you might have to upgrade to some gasket in the future, but even just adding some compressible gasket like for windows or other would fix it up quickly. Styrofoam isn't known for springing back well
I got extremely lucky and got it off ebay for $207. It came complete - the ceramic tower, brass box, faucets, tap handles (although I've bought new handles since then and what's pictured here aren't the same ones I originally bought) and drip tray.Where did you get that tower? Did you make it or did it come with the brass on top?
Where at in Germany were you? Würzburg?
Got questions on your buildI started building my keezer almost 2 years ago. It was primarily based on Jester369's keezer project. Mine was going to be slightly bigger with some storage space and the top would overhang like bar. I got it to work [pics here and here] and I've already served countless pints from it but it was just huge and unwieldy so I never got around to finishing it.
Fast forward to November of last year and SWMBO gave me the green light to upgrade our home entertainment center with the caveat that I finish the keezer/bar.
I completely re-thought the design, mainly getting inspiration from gxm's keezer and from this random keezer I ran across a long time ago. I started drawing it up in SketchUp and here's the design we agreed on
here's a detail sketch
on to the build...
plywood board and 2x4 framing attached to the wall for stability
heavy duty drawer slides can support up to 500 lbs.
the keezer is floating off the ground by about 4 inches.
staining the top panels
side panel installed and dry-fitting the front panel
The short list of things to do:
- Install top panels
- New beer lines and install tower
- Finish front panel and liquor cabinet
- wiring for fan and lighting
- ??????
- profit

here's the final product as of 02.25.11
