The Keezer

inner 2x6 collar fits the dimensions of the freezer. Joined inside brackets, screws, and wood glue

Outer 1x8 collar was added for Cleaner lines, support, and insulation

Close-up showing how the inner and outer collars were joined.

This freezer had a recessed area for the hinges requiring routing the inner collar to match the depth so the lid would properly align

close-up of the collar after being stained and sealed. The outer collar is attached with wood glue and bolts

The whole collar is attached to the freezer using premium sealant

Foam insulation was added around the perimeter of the collar and attached with sealant

Metallic tape was used to cover the foam and provide additional insulation

The shanks are drilled through the collar, foam, and tape with 3.75 in spacing

The lid is reattached to the collar. Because the collar was routed the lid fits flush and aligned

Adding the hinge covers back for a clean look

The lid opens!

Shanks are drilled with 3.75 in center spacing using xin drill bit

The 5-way manifold is attached to the collar with all CO2 tubing attached using oticker clamps

The liquid lines (8ft) are attached the shanks

The manifold is attached to the dual regulator for the low serving pressure. The other regulated pressure will be used for force carbonation

Perlick faucets are attached to the shanks

Taking it all in

Inkbird thermometer is used to control the freezer temperature

Why not? Every keezer should have a sign board
