  • I recently moved and had to get rid of my darling 4 tap Kegerator made out of a 7 cu ft chest freezer. I decided i needed to to rebuild her, but this time make it out of a 5 cu ft freezer.

    Here’s some info on the final product
    Total cost of my current 2 tap, 2 keg build ~$750

    Wood - Misc 2 x 4, 1 x 6, wood stain, wood glue from local hardware store

    That’s with everything new, I think you could budget this down a bit as the kegs and taps were new and $320 of that total, plus I went with quick disconnects for all my tubing.
    Overall I’m very pleased! I didn’t expect so much capacity from a significantly smaller footprint. Plus it seems to run much less frequently, probably because of the smaller area to keep cool and the additional wood I used around the collar to insulate.
    Cheers!

    That’s exactly the specs of what I’m building next week when my freezer shows up

    I have been trying to decide between the 5cu ft and the 7. Thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for.

    PC fan + EvaDry dehumidifier in my keezer eliminated basically all condensation. The fan helps keep the lines cool too. Highly recommend the combo. The dehumidifiers are refreshable so you just have to remember to plug them in once a month or so. Nice build!

      Good thinking, I think I used to have one of those dehumidifiers in my old rig but it’s definitely gone now, so that would be a great addition!

    Excellent overview! and love the animations, do you use blender?

    • @5minutebrewery
      @5minutebrewery  Před rokem

      I do, well spotted! I'll use Autocad Inventor and Solidworks for the design process of my projects, but then import to Blender and add details for all my animations!

    Very nice job! I m thinking to move from bottles to kegs, what You advice for better choice build kegerator or keezer? Thank You

  • @pinky882
    @pinky882 Před 8 měsíci

    could you fit two 5 gallon corny kegs on the compressor if you didn't have the co2 tank inside the keezer?

    • @5minutebrewery
      @5minutebrewery  Před 8 měsíci

      I don’t think so, to sit on the compressor you need the thicker and shorter kegs, (pin lock or pin lock converted to ball lock) and in that case only one would fit.

  • @dannybond7383
    @dannybond7383 Před 5 měsíci

    Could you fit two 1/6 bbl (sixtel) in this? Great video by the way!

      In the bottom and not on the hump is what I am meaning

    • @5minutebrewery
      @5minutebrewery  Před 5 měsíci

      Thanks!
      Looks like those are 9 1/4”, a quick measure says it looks like it might be too tight for 2 in the bottom section.

    • @dannybond7383
      @dannybond7383 Před 5 měsíci

      That's what I was thinking. Thanks for the quick response.

    What are your thoughts on keeping the CO2 tank outside the keezer? I've had my CO2 tank inside but I am considering moving it out, for more space.

    • @5minutebrewery
      @5minutebrewery  Před 2 dny +1

      I actually moved my CO2 tank outside recently as well, doesn’t look quite as tidy but gives more space, and makes it easier to change PSI on the regulator. Go for it! 🍻

      @@5minutebrewery We think the same, i also kept mine out for aesthetic.
      Your glycol chiller is fancy! But i think i am going to cheap out and hook up my cold side to a bucket of water in the keezer.
