This is an on-going work to create a custom keezer. The idea here is to salvage most stuff so I get the cheapest keezer possible.
Im going for a keezer because I already have a freezer available.
This build is only for one keg but can be expanded later on - The idea for this keezer is to be able to store a keg + some bottles that are conditioning
Preparing
First off I’ve checked that my keezer is actually working, yay! Its an old old freezer but works fine, after some clean up this is what I’m working with:
I’ve took measurements for the collar and saved up some premade requests to ebay to get cheap parts, the goal here is to pay 50% less than brand-new parts if possible (Cheap parts that cost a buck but you have to pay $4 in shipping fees are not worth it)

For the wood I cannot really find a wood that thick easily so I might have to glue two pieces together to get to that 5cm wide. final dimension 218L.
