Nice work on the bar. I’ll have to get some pics up of my friends bar I made for him. In one of your pics I saw little fans, what are you using those for?
The circulate air around the mini fridge. The Keg cooler is powered by a 2.7 cu/ft mini fridge. I took the door off and turned it to face the right (if you were behind the bar) and then built a very well insulated area that essentially acts like a extension to the fridge. Fridges not only cool air, but also dissipate heat. If you completely enclose the fridge then is will have no where to dissipate the heat. If I didn’t put those there then the compressor would probably burn out rather quickly. I also have two fans inside the keg box to circulate the cool air.
my contractor buddy suggested that exact thing, but I think it’d be a bit too much. Wood bar, wood bar back (yet to be built), wood ceiling and wood walls… god damn. Contrast is good.
I will be getting recessed lights and other little goodies, but so much other stuff takes priority (like making sure the bar is always fully stocked :nod)
im looking to build a bar, i just got a pool table and wanted to put a bar in there to go with it, i wasnt going to go that far with it though, just some sanded plywood. Looks nice as hell though
yea the first batch I did I used traditional bottles that I capped. then the second time I used grolsch’s, now I plan on mixing in a few 2L and 1L grolsch’s type bottles. I hope to get a stainless fermenter and some other goodies soon. sucks having to do it in my apartment right now, but oh well
